Hi Soane, I have been watching a lot of your videos lately and enjoy them very much. I was wondering what the meaning is behind the dances of the ladies in front? I often see that there's money placed on them and a piece of fabric placed in front of them on the floor. I'm from the Netherlands by the way.
