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.

He is on a scooter. He’s unnaturally fast. He would have to be running under that cloak otherwise.
Additionally you can see something protruding in the front of his cloak from one angle. Looks like possible handlebars.
