Kikkli is more of a sport than a dance for young girls.[4] Two girls stands face to face close to each other and hold their hands crossing arms with their bodies inclined back;[1][2][5] in this position their arms are stretched to the maximum and hands interlock firmly.[5] Then they wheel round fast continuously with their dupattas floating in the air and anklets making tinkling sound.[4][5] The other ladies encourages them to go faster and faster by singing songs with clapping.[2] Sometimes it is done by four girls. The folk song related to the dance has much variety.
