стоять в сторонке

What does mean "стоять в сторонке" ? I see many times in the net: "стоят девочки, стоят в сторонке", but not its meaning.

Thanks.

to stay aside
usually with a humbeled look.
The quoted phrase is from the famous Soviet song with such a meaning:
the girls look humbeled (on the dancefloor) becuse the statistic shows: there are only nine lads for ten girls.
