The video begins with an announcement about the dancers and their performance, including the subject of the dance. Four dancers highlighted include siblings Michael and Elizabeth Baladão, and brothers Larry and Steve Alves. The dancers are accompanied by guitars, accordions, and whistles. A group of younger dancers in the center perform with tambourines and also sing solos. The acting portion of the performance begins off-stage, where actors in the crowd start their dialogue, and eventually migrates to the stage. The dancers wear a mix of gold and white outfits.
