The Escala is usually danced at wedding celebrations. It is customary to perform it after the wedding dinner. The sponsors for the    couple dance first, the bride and the groom following after them. Before the newly married couple start dancing, the groom offers a glass of tuba or wine to the bride, at the same time calling her by her new married name. The bride does the same to the groom. After their dance, the groom offers wine to the parents of the bride. He kneels before them and gives them the glass of tuba or wine at the same time calling them Nay and  Tay (Ma and Pa). The bride does the same to the parents of the groom.
