If I recall correctly, many years ago a queen, the wife of the Sultan went swimming. When she came out of the water she was flipping her head to get water out of her ears. Some children saw her and laughed so the guards cut their heads off. As a result of this joyful event girls everywhere celebrate joyful occassions with this dance as a way to say to the ruler "don't chop my head off".Does anyone know 'the roots' of this tradition?
