Nowadays only at morung building time and when other morungs come for a visit any dancing is done at Kongan.

text:

Only two morungs go to Namsang at a time. (40) The Khangkhai and Yong-sha morung dance with Aiya and Aiyu of Namsang. Lingba and Chingba dance with Meiniu and Lendzing of Namsang. The whole village of Kongan goes to dance with the Balang morung of Wakching. The girls visit also these morungs of Namsang and Wakching.
