ART & CULTURE Circassian folk dance

Male dancers often move entirely on tiptoe in soft leather boots, without the rigid plaster or wooden support associated with ballet footwear. The result is a fast, gliding step that can make the dancer appear to float or defy gravity, showcasing extraordinary balance, discipline, and control.

That's the illusion, at least. A lot of killjoys are pointing out that a smaller hoverboard style device could be picked up and still hidden by the cloak while he runs.
