The "Pipa Dance", which is a self-entertainment for the masses, is the most popular dance during New Year's Day and weddings. As long as the "string" of the plucked instrument sounds, everyone from children to the elderly will dance. Under the leadership of the string player, people dance in circles. There are simulated dances that express production and daily life, and there are also lyrical dances. In addition, the "Double Dance", which is called "Qian Wu Qian" at weddings, is a type of self-entertainment group dance. People, led by the male lead dancer who holds the Lisu pipa and the female lead dancer who plays the "皚篥" or "bamboo flute", shake their waists and hips, making their long skirts swing left and right, dancing gracefully.
