　　Olga: Do you wear any kind of special dress?

 

　　Daniel: Yes. The girl is wearing a long dress.

 

　　Olga: Yes.

 

　　Daniel: And the guy is wearing sombrero.

 

　　Olga: Yeah.

 

　　Daniel: It's not like, it's not as big as Mexican sombrero but it's smaller and a small poncho.

 

　　Olga: Oh yeah, I think I've seen it before. Yeah, like the small poncho is like almost like every time it's brown and with like kind of like colorful lines?

 

　　Daniel: Yes.

 

　　Olga: Oh yeah, I've seen it before, yeah.

 

　　Daniel: And we also wear boots and spurs which makes it really, really difficult to dance.

 

　　Olga: Have you danced it before?

 

　　Daniel: I have but I don't think I succeeded.

 

　　Olga: Oh, I see. And what do you mean it's kind of romantic dance?

 

　　Daniel: It is a romantic dance.

 

　　Olga: How?

 

　　Daniel: Because you have to flirt with the girl.

 

　　Olga: Oh, I see.

 

　　Daniel: That's the point of the dance.

 

　　Olga: And is it, does it mean anything? Does it have any meaning?

 

　　Daniel: It's related to how, because we use a handkerchief so it's how, it symbolizes a rope so you can, you have to catch the girl with your rope.

 

　　Olga: Oh, I see, that's pretty cute.

 

　　Daniel: Yeah, it is.
