Party in Iran Breakdance 1991 Aroosi

Amir is part of the under-30 crowd who make up 70 percent of Iran's population. They were born right before or shortly after the Islamic Revolution in 1979.This generation doesn't want the religious men who rule this country running their lives. They've had enough of the strict Islamic rules. They want closer ties with America.Amir said, "People in America can enjoy everything. You have so much freedom. Here in Iran we enjoy ourselves, but to a limit."Some American pastimes such as drinking and dancing are strictly forbidden. Those caught doing so are beaten or arrested.Mehti is a 24-year-old college student in Tehran. "We love to dance and listen to music, but we have to be very careful," he said.You won't find any bars or nightclubs. But that hasn't stopped Amir and his friends from finding a way to party."We party underground, secretly in homes," Amir explained. "Sometimes the police give us trouble, but that's okay. This is how we live."

Iranian wedding party "Aroosi" is probably the only legible version of both-gendered social gathering for fun. Even women can remove their hijab! Back to 1991..
