Sometimes young men join the dance.

They dance beating musical instruments, i.e. drums, timkis and nisans. Sometimes they dance together. Also at places they form two separate groups and dance and sing in a line; one group facing the other. In course of singing one group puts questions and the other group answers. The exact gesture of the youngmen’s group is reciprocated by the women’s group. Here is no place for hesitation or shyness.
