The Kayin "Done Yaein" or the Kayin traditional dance is performed at a brisk pace with verve and soul. This traditional dance is well-known throughout the country for its lively spirit. The sight of men waving their arms and leaping high, in counterpoint to the women twirling handkerchiefs as they sway and trip along gracefully are an amazing interest and joy for the audiences.
