Never underestimate Indians and their love for cultural dance forms. When it comes to fun and making unforgettable memories they don't hesitate or worry about the embarrassment or civic wrongdoings. In a viral video shared on social media, tourists were seen dancing on 'Chogada' song, not on a dance stage or a performers' street but at the top of Burj Khalifa.
Burj Khalifa’s observation deck, located on the 124th floor for most visitors, turned all cheerful when tourists planned to bring Garba steps on the floor.
The video was posted on social media platform Instagram by a Dubai content creator @the_walking_lens_, on June 15. Since then the video has gone viral on the internet with nearly half a million views and hilarious comments.

On the other hand even Gujrati people took turns on the frenzy tourists, disowning them and calling it as weird as it can be. One Gujarati user wrote, "NOPE. As a Gujarati, this is embarrassing. I understand you're excited and happy and want to celebrate but flipping garba anywhere is not. Even gujjus in India don't break into garba at any random place."

Another user commented, “Why is the comfort of other visitors not being considered now? There’s a fine line of difference between enjoyment and discomfort to others!”. A fourth wrote, “Civic sense? RIP.”
The video has also added a pole asking if you would like to dance at the top of the Burj Khalifa and over 95% people have said no. What are your thoughts, would you dare to dance in any public or tourist place with your group?
