The research results show that the form of presentation of the Employee Dance in wedding celebrations in Kampung Hulu Pasa Malintang includes various interconnected elements that form a cohesive and meaningful performance, including movements, floor design, music design, dancers, costumes, props and the performance venue.

The dancers wear batik clothes freely without specific patterns or colour requirements, while their lower attire consists of neatly wrapped sarongs in place of trousers.

The Employee Dance is performed inside the house where the traditional wedding ceremony takes place, specifically in front of the bride and groom standing on a prayer mat.
