Iskista Ethiopian (Amharic) Dance is a unique and very much loved Ethiopian entertaining performance. Recently It became popular with many other countries around the world.

To make an appropriate and impressive Amharic iskista both of your hands shall rest at your waist and your thumb shall point towards your back while your 4 fingers are visible in front of your body. At this time you will create 2 lovely triangles at left and right side of your main body.  The speed and the type of Iskista/movement depends on your ability and the rhythm of the music you are listening to.
