Referring to the Gambang Dance movement, which is danced based on the Gambang movement
motif (Refer to Figure 1.1), the movement will be performed after the beat of the rebana ibu and the sound
of the first gong (8 Bit) of Bar B which marks the first count. Every 4 Bits indicate a count of 1 in making a
move. For example, the beginning of the movement motif ([Daun Sirih + Berjalan = 4 Bits (Bar C)] = Count
1).
