A video that circulated on social media in Morocco has caused widespread controversy in recent hours, featuring elderly folk dancers. Moroccans have been divided between those who empathize with and those who mock the footage, particularly due to "the advanced age of the dancers," especially one who exhibited signs of aging, during a public celebration held in one of the designated tents.
Commenters' opinions varied, with some urging her to repent, while others mocked her artistry and age, suggesting that they do not align with this profession or even her appearance.
Others expressed both surprise and pity for the dancer's situation, speculating that she might "be suffering from poverty and vulnerability, which led her to engage in folk dancing or continue practicing it despite it being inappropriate for her age."
Meanwhile, some viewers felt that the woman's condition was "pitiful to the point of tears," especially as she appeared in the video wearing glasses for vision correction and a head covering, and yet kept up with the loud folk music alongside other female members of the troupe, who also appeared to be at an advanced age.
