Chi Wara are danced in male and female pairs, a marvelous statement of the complementary nature of life. The dances are performed by vigorous young men in the fields while a chorus of women sing the praises of the ideal farmer.

The women also contribute jewelry to the antelope sculpture. During the dance, each masked performer is accompanied by a woman who dances behind him. In this way the Chi Wara dance alludes to the fruitful union of male and female analogous to the union of the sun (considered a male power) with the earth (considered female), which leads to the fruitfulness of the fields.
