The Bachas' Dance

The dance of bachas - professional boy dancers - was a favourite entertainment of Bukhara residents. The dancers looked like women.
They had long hair and wore women's dresses. They were usually invited to perform at family occasions, such as weddings.
Sometimes they danced in the squares of the khanate's cities
