ABU International Dance Festival 2017: MTRK-Uzbekistan - Lezgi

Asia-Pacific Broadcasting Union: ABU International Dance Festival 2017, 12 - 15 January 2017, Hyderabad, India
Lezgi (Traditional)
Every region in Uzbekistan has its own style and way of dances. One of them is “Lezgi”. Lezgi is a dance from the Khorezm region which is extremely popular not only in Uzbekistan but worldwide. They are energetic, rousing and very temperamental. In contrast to slow and quiet dances of Bukhara and Samarkand, Khorezm dances are initially very rhythmic, and the pace becomes irrepressible by the end of the dance. Perhaps, "Lezgi" is the most well-known Khorezm dance today. This dance is characterized by movements on bent legs, shaking with shoulders and hands with small bells attached. Commonly the Lezgi dance consists of three parts. The dance will start slowly and then the rhythm of the music and dance performance itself will speed up becoming faster and faster. This dance is performed by the two of our dancers. The main idea of this dance is the competition between the two dancers. In the first part performers dance together. In the second and third parts of the performance, the dancers compete to show their individual abilities to the audience. At the end their friendship will glorify and the third part will be performed together.
