Kurdish line dance

A wedding in Orumiyeh, northwestern Iran

I was mesmerized! Clip description says: "Kurdish wedding from Iran Oroumieh Nisani tribes, Kanasi Village." The wedding is obviously in a public hall and as such the men's and women's sections are separated. This is why only men dance here.

I was half joking :)

I AM proud of who I am, and I am proud of where I come from, with all its strengths as weaknesses.

By the way, I have a Kurdish aunt and am rather familiar with the Kurds and their culture.  ... being warm people sounds just about right. :)

On the contrary, khanom. I am from urmiye myself, and it's just a weird habit of often being very serious lol... but in europe everybody is smiling and laughing. I love my kurdish dances, it just makes you happy and unified with the ones you dance with, it's great.

The guy in light-blue jacket who seems to lead the dance adds so much personality to the performance.

Thanks for sharing it!

To Emil: You seem like a grown up

You seem like a grown up, but apprently have the mind of a retarded 2-year old monkey. The clip already said that men and women are separated because of your Islamic government. Also, you must be a homophobic.

They can dance ...

This is in Iran fo-sho. Kurdish women can dance and they dance beautifly. I Love Kurdish culture. It is extremely rich and dancing for both men and women is a huge part of their celebrations.

When I see dance like this

by Princess on Thu Sep 24, 2009 10:49 AM PDT

I wish I wasn't Tehrooni. Why don't we have dance like this? I also like the Armenian line dancing.

It is such a beautiful way warm up a party, no need for booz or drugs.
