Let me share my dancing stunt in Tajikistan, I hope you will like it. I do the dance move during elementary and high school days. I don’t have the choice because my teachers always pick me to perform on stage at that time. At this photo, I was able to dance with a Tajik young lady. I had my moves copying their traditional dance during “Eid Mubarak” day. It is a special day for the Tajik people to celebrate the festivity. This is my first photo exposure here. “Can you dance?” Image Credit: Shavkat

Now I can see your smiling face. Muy guapito. I like that smile of yours, it's as if you are so happy but a bit shy, am i right. That Tajik girl is so pretty,

@SIMPLYD It was a bad thing at first. They thought I am too young and thinking I don't have skills in the medical field. But I had proven them wrong.

You look to be doing very well there! We used to like dancing too but we mostly did ballroom dancing.

@JudyEv I think that is a good idea. Ballroom dancing is a good exercise, too. It can be used if there is a special occasion.

I love ballroom dancing, too. It was a part of my PE class during my college days. It is really fun.

I am not very good at dancing. But you must be a good dancer i guess because your teachers were choosing you to perform on stage.

At first, I was so anxious. But then, I got used to dancing. Now, I just dance if I feel doing it at home. It triggers when listening to some of my favorite songs. I can see myself with this colleague of mine dancing with full of excitement. He can feel the song.lol Image Credit: Shavkat

i am sad, kabsat, because i cannot see any picture here, even my avatar shows a 'broken mirror'. i was once a member of the dance troop in elementary school, and college as a member of the dance club. i am more on folk dance rather than the modern one'.

@Shavkat humbly, i was always called by our PE teacher to be taught the dance first, before letting me dance with the whole Grades 5 and 6 for the field demonstration, so they can follow the steps.

It was a big celebration in Tajikistan. Most old women used to cook their popular dish during the celebration. During that time, I imagined that they are like witch cooking in a large cooking pot. Image Credit: encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com

You look beautiful with those clothes - It's nice to see you on the first time, I'm sure you're a good dancer if your teachers always choose you to dance, I'm not use to dance,It depends on my mood and the atmosphere of the situation I am in.
