Traditional Armenian Dance

Folk dances performed by Armenian dancers.
Our viewer savetheplanet commented on this video: "Name of this dance is "Uzundara" - Armenian traditional dance."
Armenian dance heritage is one of the oldest, richest and the most varied in the Near East. Lead by certain kinds of musical instruments these dance forms come a long way from the fifth to the third millennium B.C. There are evident rock paintings of scenes of country dancing in the higher regions of Armenia of that time. In the fifth century Moses of Khoren (Movsés Khorenats'i) himself had heard of how "the old descendants of Aram (that is Armenians) make mention of these things (epic tales) in the ballads for the lyre and their songs and dances. Armenian expatriates love traditional dancing which has now become very popular in the international folk dance and circle dance groups around the world. Most people find the Armenian dance very vibrant due to the excitement, delicacy and eloquence it represents.
The Dancers mainly put on the traditional Armenian costume in their dances to signify their history and culture and also to bring their ancestors stories to life. These costumes are designed while keeping in mind the religious traditions, family methods and practicality. The Armenian dance and the tradition is brought together by the deep red color and the delicate beading of the costumes. The gorgeous movements of the Armenian cultural dance are acclaimed by all audience around the world.

    98% of the song in the CAUCASIAN are Armenian and Georgian. Azerbaijan is not on the ancient maps nor is Turkey. Most of the Songs in Azari culture are taken from Armenians this is a fact. do your history and you will see. you can take any song and islamafy it. Lot of our songs(ARMENIAN) have bleed in to Azari culture because we live closely to each other and we have been living there for more then 11,000 years. Coca Cola is older the Azerbaijan. here is a fact. And most of the Armenian song are more the 1,000 years old at least the old ones in the Armenian Tradition.

Tüm dünya biliyor, bu dans bize mahsus- " Uzundere" dedelerimizin mirası. dansçı güzel bir kız, ermeni, zaten malum oluyor, ama bu kadar siz kara kalpli olmayın, dans bize mahsus. ermeni dansi diye dünyaya haykırmayın. Sovyet döneminden " O olmasın, bu olsun" diye filmimiz var. Kimse "Uzundere" gibi bilmese de şu filmin melodisi gibi hatırlar. Но если вы так же будете настаиваться, что это армянский танец, я назову вас или воришками или скажу что, мы являемся вашими предками. выберите сами какое вам по душе. надеюсь вы меня поняли.

    “Uzun” means “Long”, “Dara” means “Valley” in Azerbaijani language. In 1910, a great composer of Azerbaijan, Uzeyir Hajibeyov (born in 1885, Shusha) composed his operetta called “O olmasin, bu olsun” (Means: If Not That One, Then This One). It is also known as “Mashadi Ibad”, which reflects social and everyday life relations in pre-Revolutionary Azerbaijan. It is the composer’s second work written in this genre, and is considered a national classic alongside the same composer's Arshin mal alan. “Uzundara” is one of melodies of the operetta, which is transformed by Mashadi Ibad’s version in which he cynically argues about love. Another great composer from Armenia, Aram Khachaturian (born in 1903, so he was 7 years old, when Uzeyir Hajibeyov composed his operetta) later (in 1930s) revised Uzundara and improvised the song in his own way, which is very beautiful indeed. Both composers are great. The song is very beautiful. I have watched this dance in weddings of Azerbaijani and Armenia people (You never see a wedding without Uzundara. In Armenian weddings only the bride dances, while in Azerbaijani weddings, both bride and groom perform this.
