Very interesting, awesome and very beautifully conveying the regional taste.
I like the way the first guys is walking on ramp, totally realistic too the mood of dressing and not regular two and half moves.

Well the hareep music itself is such that this kind of dance steps gels very well.
Somehow i find it related to bird dance ...none the less all the cultures of world are special and have its own fun to celebrate.

It's all about attitude. Have done it a few times that too around people. Respecting each other and just moving with the beat, there is a leader whom you have to follow, usually go around in circles. There are even festivals in Hunza where they do this in front of a huge crowd. @Viny , women are allowed, they are free to come, they celebrate too. To be honest these festivals are very productive for the locals, foreigners are attracted by theses festivals, take Kalam festival or Shandur for example. Good for the locals.

More the monetary benefits, what i like that simplicity and connectivity with each other via this kind of functions, binds everyone to roots. Things like these can never be enjoyed in todays rush bush city lives. Till the time they are doing this function for there happiness it will have its essence, once it will get commercialized the soul of the festive will die.
I have been lucky to travel and connect with many remote cultures and I know how the spirit dies of once it gets commercialized.

Having said that, i still love the subtle yet simple masti mood of this guy, and that hat is cherry on top

Not to dispresect the dressing culture, but that overcoat can work well as night robe too..

Understood the point, but long been commercialized, we live by the culture. Say Shandur at one point was all about Gilgit vs Chitral, meeting on the top of the world and fighting it out. Now there are sponsors, tourist coming from all over the world. People planning for years and making it through, it is a whole different thing than it used to be. The spirit is still alive, the rivalry is still alive, just evolving with the times and with times getting better. Government doing it's best.
same goes for Kalam festival or ones being held in Hunza, one point it was only locals coming to celebrate, and now people from all over the world come. It does change many things but the culture and festivals are still alive. I think the locals have done a great job in preserving their culture and history, it is what binds people together. I don't think it will ever die out, we basically live by the culture, emphasis on the 'basically live.'

This one is designed, it is usually a baggy top, like this:

This works too.

Take this festival for example, or this other one:
PAMIR TIMES | Voices of the Mountain Communities – Pictorial – Glimpses of the Baba Ghundi Festival held in Chipursan, Hunza
PAMIR TIMES | Voices of the Mountain Communities – Cultural festival enthralls the residents of Gahkuch, Ghizar

dude no one knows the origin of the GB dance.. however, there are rules and principle which needs to be followed.

since we were shamins, that means we prayed to spirits.. some say 60 spirits were worshiped..
but it is unclear .. Even the name of Baltic fort is unclear .. the word "Baltit" is meaningless
