Me volunteering to dance in a function

[Laila]

I don't dance Qataghani, ever.
The only Qataghani I ever dance to is Hamelaket ba Gardan.. And I'm not gonna lie, I spin while dancing that. But that only because he speficially says "Allah tu Charkhe bezan dami Saaze Qataghan" <3

ha ha ha! that song is a good song though, i love it. I have to say, Qataghani is one of my favorite dances, but it hurts your feet after a while.

[Laila]

Didnt know you are tajik

who is tajik?

[Mayana]

Yeah, it's a nice song... but I honestly didn't know you weren't supposed to spin in it. It makes sense tho, there is no one point in the melody that would call for a spin haha
Hmm.. My favorite dance (after Attan which I don' really consider a dance lol) is probably Logari or Qarsak. Fun stuff. =)

[Laila]

^ People originally would not spin...however, from what i have noticed, people do it differently now.

I have to say, i love every Afghan dance. but most of all...Afghani MAST!!!! with Afghan clothes on....with a huge group

[Mayana]

Shadow Caster, I think it is a misunderstanding.
What Samima was implying was that there were Tajiks along side Pashtuns proudly performing Attan.

[Laila]

I won't give you any details on who I am. It was a favor but look at our beautiful Afghan culture. Dari music, Pashto music, Attan. That is Afghanistan. The Tajiks all proudly did the Attan

that was for samima

So from that comment, what made you think she was Tajik?

Ooooh yes, especially after performing Attan.. you still have your Afghan clothes on, it's all the girls who performed the Attan.. and some mast Saaz. Aaakh <3 You spin and spin and dance and laugh and yeaah.

Oh yes! and your body just goes with the flow of the music. And you do not stop until the music stops

Then when the party is over, all the women come up to you, and smooches on you and tells your mom to spand you the very next morning. Then the next thing you know, those very same women are at your doorstep lol

[Mayana]

LOOL Yeah, that is the not-so-nice part, ahem....

[Laila]

And then Afghans cannot take no for an answer....i mean look at us. We fight for the dinner bill....and i mean we 'fight' lol


oh dang we are flooding Samima's thread....sorry Sammo. I will stop now :D

[spogmai shaglay]

Spogmai, if you would like, i can help you too.

thank ya.....if u could send some video which is clearer and close up of all steps.....i would love it....

I think it is so nice to have different cultures represented in the world. I have taught children in the west about culture and geography of different lands, always with a bit of language, music as well as a bit of food from the country. We need to all broaden our horizons and that of generations to come.

Lovely dancing, by the way!

no one does wrong with out justifying it first. i am a backward person and i very much like that part of my culture as my culture is not based solely on easy stuff like shorwa.
