But seriously, you may think women danced freely in the so-called "good old days".. but they did not. This poor girl was probably called all kinds of names behind her back!
I agree w/ Zaydoun. It was never really acceptable to dance like that in public and still be considered "respectable". We have become much more conservative but there always have been certain lines one did not cross in Kuwaiti society.
Shurouq, Agoollich shay? Not about dancing as much as about the change in society..... While looking at old newspapers, I noticed in the society sections from the 70's, there were pages of Kuwaiti weddings, where they would have pictures of the groom and bride, of the guests, and of people acting like normal people act in weddings, having fun and sometimes dancing too!! Im talking about many famous people from big families, and it was totally fine and acceptable to show those pictures in the daily newspaper....
نزال... الصورة عجيبة ويا ريت أحصل على الأصلية علشان ابروزها
شروق... حفلات وزارة التربية شيء وهذه شيء ثاني، وهالأيام التلفزيون يمنع عرض حفلات بنات الثانوية مالوت أول لأن اللي تزوجت واللي تحجبت واللي تنقبت... غير أهلهم اللي ما يبون الناس يشوفون حريمهم أيام الصبا يرقصون على نغمات التراث الأصيل
rayhane. صح لسانك And for a country that’s moving further and further into imprisoning its people’s minds and bodies, banning dancing in public is just one act that adds to it all. Without these sources of emotional and physical release, what are we but mere robots? No wonder our minds are getting tighter and tighter. Shake a jar jammed with coins or anything else for that matter, and you’re bound to make room for new ones. If our bodies aren’t allowed to ‘shake’ it, how are we to fit in anything new?

Yaryoor,
Why delete your comment?
Nazzal,
Of course it's about rights in general.. but sometime a simple B&W picture like that sums it all up, don't you think?
Follow my advice:
Dance like you've never danced before
and
Love like you've never been loved before
It looks like hacha3 to me

And No, No one called them names back then!

سلام
الرقص كان دائما مفتاحا لتحرير الجسد وبالتالي اخراج الروح من سجنها
وهذا هو مصدر عقدة البعض

Jewaira,
Yet they didn't have laws against dancing :).. no officer would ask that girl to sit down.

إذا ما تغطيت من فوق لي تحت ما صار سامري!
Q,
I know.. And besides weddings, partying at public places was a norm back then.. Remember 'Luluat al Marzoog'?

من كم يوم شفت أم تزجر ابنتها ذات الخمسة أعوام لأنها تحركت ورقصت على أنغام الموسيقى
Noony,
