  • "gpknh" - I have danced Armenian folk and line dances since the 70's. The 2dances were performed very well, but I need to give you 2 corrections to the Tamzara (according to how Armenians do it in Calif.): 1) the steps coming backwards (after skipping forward) need to be toe & heel, rather than heel & toe; & 2) the steps going right need to be in 4 set of 2's rather than 2 sets of 2's (it's an 8 count). I can't comment on the Pompooree b'cause it's different from what I've learned. Good job!

  • thanks for that, I learned the dance from an Armenian folk dance tutor when he visiting HK having workshops in 1980, steps might varies from place to place, I think the main point is having a view on nation's culture through folk songs and dances, Pompooreeg = Pompouri, steps vary each other, but the basic steps are similar. Happy Dancing !

  • thanks for those comments......

    actualy we do not dance well enough....

    we are just a folk dance group in Hong Kong have fun in international folk dancing......

    those videoes were filmed either during classes or dance gathering held by us....

    the purpose is to promote folk dancing & as a revision for classmates......

    and we cannot speak Armenian...

    those dances from Armenia & Lebanon were taught by famous teachers when they visiting Hong Kong & Taiwan...

    happy dancing....thank you...

  • it's so humbling to see this group of Chinese brilliantly dance Armenian folk dances when most Armenians can't. My question & challeng is how many Armenians can dance a Chinese folk dance?

  • excellent Chinese brothers, Armenians are grateful)

  • If a people with as great a culture as the Chinese think that learning a traditional Armenian dance is worth doing, then I can be even more proud. Fantastic dancing guys, well done and thanks!
