  • Utterly fascinating. How can I discover the original meaning of these caucassian arm movements and gestures? They seem to be common in the dances from many caucasian lands

  • I'm affraid that Caucasians don't remember they meaning. They look like demonstration of grace and stateliness.

  • OK, I am not a Circassian or anyone from the Caucus area, BUT what I don't understand is why you all argue with each other. I am not trying to insult anyone, but you are all from tiny countries/republics that are all so close to each other. Your culture seems to be very similar and to me you are the same ppl, yet you fight all the time on youtube. Why not just relax and enjoy some interesting dancing?

  • Most of Caucasin people want to save their culture. And they have something like competition between. As I remembet competition forwards economics :-)

  • ah keşke bnde bilseydim çerkes dansını o değilde çerkesçeyi bile bilmiyorum kalmadı bizde çerkeslik-it ia the most wonderful dance in the world-

  • Cerkeslik kaldi Cerkezistanda!

  • its a abaza dance too

  • pliashut kak kalinka uzhas

  • @Carbatay No we do lol

  • I have to agree with you. I am a Chechen but hate how everyone is always claiming to be the source of all of Caucasian culture. Its stupid and most likely, they all took a little bit from each other...

    p.s.: studies show the wainakh were in the caucasus 8000 years ago, which is pretty early....just so everyone knows lol

  • sword and armour! its simple! one hand had the sword and the other the armour! all dances are Circassian, copied by all the other caucasian ppl.

  • I too, see the similarity in their dances in the Caucasus and I am sure there must be some special old meaning stemming at least from the medieval period - I think that in those kingdom days women had to cover their hands, and these dances mean they try to preserve their traditions from far-away enemies who try to impose on their lands and their ways..
