Bojnordi dance (Iran)

[Kyp]

Anyone know if this is a dance of the Khorasan Turks? Are there similarities to other dances?

Bojnordi dance: Bojnord is a village in the northeast section of Iran inhabited by a Turkic people. Men and women dance separately or together in Bojnordi dance, snapping their fingers in the method known as peshkan. Dancing in a circle with running and step hop steps, the dancers may turn alternate directions facing first one side then the next, dancers sometimes facing one another. Men or women may dance and wave small colorful scarves, called dastmal.[18]

Easy to tell from the clothes (male & female) and music that these are khorasan kurds. If you type Khorasan kurds in YouTube you’ll see a few of these

Couldn't find data on Bojnord.

North Khorasan in general:
46,1% Kurdish
27,8% Persian/Tat
20,6% Turkish
3,3% Turkmen
2,2% Other

South Khorasan is completely Persian very different from North Khorasan.
Golestan is Turkmen + Persian + Mazandarani.

Yes S Khorasan is completely Persian with a couple of small pockets of Kurd and Baloch around Birjand and Torbat-e-Jam shown in my signature line
