Circassian dances are a special part of the culture of the Circassian people. These national dances evoke imagery of combat and courtship.
Dancing ability is very important for social standing in Circassian communities, especially with regards to marriage and romantic relationships. They share some common traits with ballet: men dance on a sort of military-style wearing, sometimes, a dagger or a sword. Women move very lightly, like penguins, floating across the floor without shaking their heads or upper bodies.
During weddings or special occasions, young dancers, women, and men are hired to dance. Why is that for?
1) Performers can play any request, which makes the guests a part of the entertainment.
2) People will keep more attention to a skilled dancer than a dumb one.

I feel that a historian with great oratory skills would be a nice addition to a wedding. I mean someone that says: “There is no meaning to man’s actions, nor is there an end to history. What is hope? There is no sense and there is no end.”
He would be really killing the party.
