One of the most popular dance by Assyrians in Iran is Sheykhani. The dancers start off by first holding hands and standing very close to one another. Then the dancers start to face the center of the circle. The dancers go forward a couple steps in, with their arms at their sides and at the same time, kick into the center. After that, they immediately step back out. When the dancers reach the circle which they originally began with, they turn to the right; their hands are hooked to one another by the fingers, the right arm is bent in front of the body, and the left arm is bent in behind the back. The dancers move a few steps along the line-of-direction, until they face the center, ready to begin the pattern again. There are many variations of these steps within each Assyrian village.
