At each of the 4 weddings I went to, the dancing was long-lasting and all-encompassing. Even I, usually painfully averse to dancing, was forced to get out and dances with more old Uzbek women than I can now recall.

In this video, late into the night after a good portion of the revelers have already left, the dancing goes on unabated. Note the band’s dancer, in white, whose job it is to get things going and in the process collect (massive wads of cash of) tips for the band. Also notice the groom, who is STILL doing shots on demand as people come to toast him.

This video, full of revelry and weddings and dancing Uzbek girls, makes me pine to get back to Uzbekistan.
