Among the ndayo that are associated more with tshikanda than with vhusha is:

Song No. 6  1 Wele wele, phosho ndi ya'ni?   What is causing all (this) noise?  2 Vhasidzana tivhani khulo!   Girls, sing khulo!  3 Wele wele, phosho vhasidzana!   What a noise there is, girls!  Chorus: Ha na la mmphwa-Muavha.   There are the huge genitals of the worthy lady of Muavha's lineage.

The dancers crouch and shuffle their feet, left-right-left-right, in time to the regular crotchet beat of the tenor drum.   A novice dances ndayo, much to the amusement of older women. Two other novices sit 'humbly' waiting their turn.
