Second, the moves dominantly go to the front direction such as in the moves of sepok, punte tali bowuok, elo somba and sombah. The moves, later, go along with the body like in the moves of ulu limpiong, gletek, and klenjek. Third, the rhythm of the dance is in count of 1×8 such as in the moves of sepok, ulu limpiong, gletek, klenjek, punte tali bowuok, and elo somba. Meanwhile, the rhythm in the move of sombah is in the count of 2×8. Four, the quality of the moves in the dance is determined by space, time, and power. The space in the moves of sepok, klenjek, elo sombah, and sombah is a direct and big space. Meanwhile, the space in the moves of ulu limpiong, gletek, and punte tali bowuok is an indirect and big space. In term of time, it is done continuously in the moves of sepok, ulu limpiong, and klenjek while it is done suddenly in the moves of gletek, punte tali bowuok, and sombah. In the move of elo sombah, it is done directly. Finally, in term of power, the moves of sepok and gletek are done in big power while the moves of ulu lipiong, klenjek, punte tali bowuok, elo somba, and sombah are done in light power. Those results show that the styles in the Pasombahan dance are the combination of Minangkabau martial art dance and Bangkinang-Malay version.
