This is demonstrated by the more elaborate details of facial scarification and sharply filed teeth. The treatment of her hairstyle is known simply as Pwo. The Pwo dancers dance elegantly and gracefully exemplifying good behavior and manners. Pwo dancers wear tight fitting net costumes with cotton wrappers and fake breast.
