Kabasaran

Kabasaran is a traditional Minahasan martial art and war dance from North Sulawesi in Indonesia. It is performed by several men clad in red costumes, wielding a sword with a shield or a spear. The dancers are called kawasalan, which implies imitating like a pair of fighter cocks. The word kabasaran is derived from kawasalan, which is related to the Sakalele dance, a traditional war dance from the Moluccas. It was simplified and incorporated moves from Quadrille dance.
