The Khorumi is a war dance that originated in the region of Adjara, which is located in the southwestern region of Georgia. The dance was originally performed by only a few men. However, over time it has grown in scale. In todays version of the Khorumi, thirty or forty dancers can participate.

Although the number of performers changed, the content of the dance is still the same. The dance brings to life the Georgian army of the past centuries. A few men who are searching the area for a campsite and enemy camps perform the initial "prelude" to the dance. Afterwards, they call the army onto the battlefield. The exit of the army is quite breathtaking. Its strength, simple but distinctive movements and the exactness of lines create a sense of awe on stage. The dance incorporates in itself the themes of search, war, and the celebration of victory as well as courage and glory of Georgian soldiers. Since Georgia has seen many wars throughout its history, Khorumi is a call from the past and reminds us that in order to have peace, we must have war.

    Khorumi is nor for emotions.

    it is a dance where war is described - A few men are searching the area for a campsite.Afterwords, they call the army onto the battlefield.Then war begins.The dance incorporates in itself the themes of search, war, and the celebration of victory as well as courage and glory of Georgian soldiers.

    and haka is a dance only of emotions.War Haka were originally performed by warriors before a battle.It doesnt describe war. its to encourage warriors.
