    Bandari Dance

    Is Bandari a "proper" dance to perform in public for a Persian audience? I performed it recently for a Persian crowd (at least what my research has indicated that Bandari is, with Bandari music) and the crowd was cold - not that they didn't like it, but I expected them to perk up and get into it since it's such a fun and lively dance. Any thoughts or tips? Thanks!

    It can be difficult to get any Persian people up and out of their seats, they're quite shy about dancing in front of strangers it seems. I've only seen Persians dancing at home with relatives around, and this has only been a few times. My husband is Persian and there are only 4-5 people in his entire family who ever danced in front of me. Its not you, its them. ;)

    I've been asked to dance bandari many many times by Persian folk. They want me to do it, so I'm sure it's a perfectly acceptable dance to do for them.
