The dancers' movements are slow and deliberate, often incorporating intricate footwork and subtle hand gestures, which symbolize respect and admiration.

The dance is accompanied by traditional Filipino music, usually played with instruments like the guitar and banduria, and may include upbeat or soft melodies, depending on the tempo of the dance. The Pagdulang is not only a beautiful representation of Filipino culture but also a demonstration of the importance of courtship and respect within Filipino society.
