Viral Video Shows Woman Dancing At Medical Conference, Internet Calls It 'Shameful'

Dance performances at school and college events are common. There are also times when companies organise dancing and singing performances at annual events and gatherings to lighten up the mood. However, a video of a dance performance at a medical conference has not gone down well with the internet. Shared on X, the video shows a female dancer performing inside the venue in front of an all-male audience.

At what appears to be the 47th Annual Conference of the Association of Colon and Rectal Surgeons of India, a dancer, dressed in shorts with a sheer overlay and matching crop tops, shook a leg. She also invited the men to join her on the dance floor. The men, with drinks in their hands, also didn’t refrain from showing their dance moves.

Criticising such activities at a medical conference, the X user wrote, “This annual conference of the Association of Colon and Rectal Surgeons of India, held in Chennai on 19th to 21st Sep. What I want to know from @IMAIndiaOrg is this some kind of training in human anatomy? Old doctors grabbing a woman in public is what part of medicine practice?” Reacting to the video, social media users were left divided. Some called it out for being “vulgar,” others found it fun.

A user wrote, “very shameful.”

Another one argued, “Let doctors too have fun. Job of medical professional is perhaps toughest to execute with very little time to spare for personal entertainment and joy of friendly casual meet ups. If they are having an evening organised during conferences, why should people question that and make public display about their private get together. Is it something other groups of society never organise. has there been a complaint lodged by someone. This is atrocious infringement of privacy.”

“To be factually correct, no one really grabbed anyone. As a matter of fact, she “grabbed” a person to dance with. Whether this whole scenario is cringe or if it is warranted is another matter,” a comment read.

A user called out, “What the hell.. Seems like a religious procession with loud music and filthy moves.”

While the event was held at Chennai’s Taj Coromandel earlier this month, it was not clear when the dance performance was actually organised.
