Umbrella dance is a kind of lyric dance, which originated in Minangkabao area. Dance aims to show the beautiful love between men and women. Male dancers wear bright clothes, hats and umbrellas, while female dancers wear Minangkabao "sarong" made of gold thread. Clothing is very ethnic.

During the whole dance process, Anmin Garbo's unique lively and happy music accompanied him. Male dancers show their concern for female dancers mainly by waving umbrellas left and right. At the earliest time, it was performed by a man and a woman, accompanied by a male voice. Later, it developed into 4-5 pairs of male and female performances, one of which played a newcomer.
