Salam! I'm a german who is interested to learn iranian dances...where is a good video here to learn from it? I really wanna do it authentic and traditional...also a modern style bandari would be nice! Moteshakeram for any usefull help!

Ps: The dance is interesting..it look's like a trancedance

[AtashDanceGroup]

@shoorideh1 Thank you for your thoughtful comment and yes this is a tancedance based on traditions of "trance to heal". Unfortunatley, I am not aware of any good Persian dance vidoes for learning purposes

I can not find anything in this performance that is even slightly close

to "southern Iranian traditions"! I think I am a bit more qualified than you,

in knowing the traditions of Southern Iran...

I did not call any names... You just have a hard time accepting negative

feedback. Bandari has NOTHING to do with women healers. You are creating you own history. The clothing reminds me of "I Dream of Jeannie" LOL

@AtashDanceGroup Salam! Merci... I can learn a lot from information like yours. I was doing polynesian and asian dance for over 15 years. Is it ok, if I take some of the movements of your video to create an choreography? Merci va Khoda hafez!
