The movements of peacock dance are graceful, flexible, inner and light and agile. It has the following characteristics:
First, it is manifested in the flexible ups and downs of the knees. This is a unique characteristic of Dai folk dance, and also a characteristic of peacock dance.

The three-turn shape of peacock dance is slightly different from other folk dances. Generally, the direction of the raised crotch is opposite to that of the tilted upper body. The hip part is usually tilted downward, that is, tilted in the direction of the tilted upper body.
