I’m not sure what sentiments are conveyed in this dance up to the groom’s family. It looks filled with bravado – almost like a mock challenge, but I never found out the actual meaning. The fellow involved did later offer to take me home, explaining that he was looking for a white girlfriend (such offers are a common joke here). And shortly before we left, he sidled up to translate the song that the women were currently singing and dancing to. He said the lyrics were “I’m afraid to sleep alone.” Fortunately, I am not.
