The U Shwe Yoe dance

He also wears a pair of funny sunglasses. He also dances with a Pathein Umbrella. Today, Myanmar People have taken this form and dance. U Shwe Yoe dances to the music of the Ozi and Doebut troupes. He dances to the rhythmic sounds of the accompanying dobat or double-faced short drum, cymbals and bamboo clappers. The original version of the dance was then appended to a duet form.
