Wondering whether consensual agreement here is simply binary.

This spider does such dance too, and it is both beautiful and funny. The creepy part is that the male shall not stay around when his mission’s complete. He’s life depends on it.

Yes, some level of this is best understood by watching one of the “Birds of Paradise” documentaries where the birds judge each other on whether the dance moves were performed correctly before they can mate
