Lezginka or Lezghinka is a national dance of many people in the Caucasus Mountains. It derives its names from the Lezgin people; nevertheless, Chechens, Lezghins, Ossetians, Circassians, Karachays, Balkars, Abkhazians, Kabardins, Ingush, Georgians, Ingilos, Azerbaijanis, Iranian Azerbaijan, Mountain Jews, the Russian Kuban and Terek Cossacks and the various ethnicities of Dagestan have their own versions.
Lezginka can be a solo, couple or group dance. Men and women are dressed in traditional costumes (image); men wear a sword adorned on their side and women in long, flowing dresses. The man, imitating an eagle, dances in quick, concise steps; falling to his knees and leaping up quickly. The woman dances quietly, taking light, small steps—giving the appearance of her floating around the floor. When the dance is performed in pairs, the couples do not touch; the woman acknowledges the man, and dances discreetly about him.

  • @max2bomb idiot its not russian !! its a Caucasusian (Georgian) dance

  • This goes for Every Georgian who notices how all Georgian dances are named Lezginka lately. This is simple, just flag these lame videos. If we keep flagging them enough times they will start disappearing from the net. Respect my country and my country's culture if you ever dream to see Caucasian home united and peaceful. No one has ever managed to force their will on Georgians. This has never happened before and will never happen to true Georgians. Flag this SHIT!
