Souffi-dancing

These shots were taken during two Souffi dance sessions. Souffi dancing could be described as a form of Islamic mysticism in which people are striving to be close to God. Have fun, vote and enjoy!

Listen, Mr True Worshipful Moslem: don't be so narrow-minded and arrogant. For a very long time, Sufism has been the interior or esoteric version of Islam and there are plenty of sholarly books that explain this. And Sufism, unlike Islam, is never associated with violence or bigotry.

Beautiful gallery, what colors and culture. It displays a beautiful tradition of fervor and happiness, which "guest" seems to not be able to understand. Great work!!

4 your info this is not from Islam
In Islam there is no such thing 2 get close 2 ALLAH by dnacing
the only way to get close 2 ALLAH is by doing a good deed
this type of mambo jumbo dance is so very much rejected by a true muslems

Hi Popko, I've just discovered your galleries, and from what I've seen (quickly), I'm going to enjoy going back for a thorough look. There's real quality here -- this one's the first to get my vote. All the best!
