It is a synchronized dance with Portuguese roots, and its music uses the Western violin, the Arab rebana, the Southeast Asian gong and a Northeast Malaysian style of singing.
The Joget also known as chakunchak is a couple dance and a time is fast enough with the feeling of teasing and playing between the partners.
This possibly refers to the rhythm of the movements of the feet in Joget where there is transference of weight to the beat 1& 2, rather similar to a ‘step ball change’ in Western dance.
This is sometimes called a ‘double step’.
A simplified version or sometimes referred to as the ‘single step’ includes the transfer of weight or ‘ball change’ but with just a tap of the second foot.
