As the genius of Armenian music Komitas once truly mentioned, "dance reflects characteristic features of each nation, especially morals and the level of civilization".
Armenian national dances are one of the oldest ones in the area of Caucasus, they identify the nature and cultural thinking of Armenians, their exceptional unity. To be noted, Armenian national dress taraz is kind of a separate culture, standing for a second melody with its significance. There exist more than 35 Armenian folk dances: Kochari, Yarkhushta, Shalakho, Tamzara, etc. In 2017 Kochari dance was inscribed in the UNESCO Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity.
Each nation "creates" national dances, passing them from generation to generation, and, naturally, within some long period of time, those dances obtain many changes, at the same time saving their unique musical and expressive elements. "Varq Hayots" folk dance group aims to bring to life the forgotten ancient Armenian rites and traditions, adding new "spices" to all of them...
