Attan began as a folk dance conducted by pashtuns,in weddings ,newyears & informal gatherings.
Attan is a traditional pashtuns dance. It is said to be one of oldest Pashtun Pagan dance, some identify Attan as an a religious ceremony of early Zoroastrians placing it 2000 BCE, and some have placed even older going back to King Yama's celebration of Nowroz and warriors dancing and circling around the fire.
