The Pushkin Ball

In a grand, ornate ballroom with a patterned wooden floor and classical architecture, two lines of formally dressed men in white shirts and black pants stand facing each other, while a small group of people, including a woman in a red dress and a woman in a blue dress, stand on a raised platform at the far end of the room. The men in the lines perform a synchronized, rhythmic movement, stepping forward and back in unison, while the people on the platform remain mostly stationary.
