from what my girlfriend told me about this dance (shes from Norway) the boys dance this for the girls to basically ask them out, the woman holds the hat on the end of a long pole and the man has to kick it off, basically sealing the deal XD, thank god she didnt make me dance this but i want to learn it one day, i might dance this before i ask her to marry me XD
