This is something not everyone may like, but this is a part of my culture and I wanted to share it with you guys. Georgian National ballet is extremely respected in my country and everywhere the dancers go they are greeted by love. There is a dance from every part of Georgia therefore their repertoire is big, I only am posting 2 pieces they are short but will give you an idea what the ballet is like. Sadly there are not many and good quality videos on youtube. We have been few time son the concert and its not like sitting and watching ballet :) your blood is boiling and everyone keeps shouting out in excitement. Btw in the second dance those are real sharp Georgian swords, they dont dance with fake,
Thanks for watching and reading lol.

Wow very nice indeed Cersei ! A very nice culture truely ! Georgia is most known by it it ethnical groups there armenians , russians , azeris and also some kurds ! And the jewish commmunity in georgia is considered one of the oldest jewish communities on the world ! This mixture will a make a perfect and interesting culture
ps : a lot of people think that georgia is derived from the syrian ST-George ! but many scholars said from its derived from syrian then from persian "gurg" and middle persian "vrkan" which means wolf or land of wolves
and i got family in georgia which make me want to study that culture more especially that i' interested in turkish - caucasian - russian civilizations and proto civilizations =D

wow Taha nice response, Its funny cause we Georgians call ourselves Qartvelebi and Georgia on Georgian is Saqartvelo, it is rumoured that first Georgians name was Qartlos and that is why we call Georgia Saqartvelo. You are right about all the cultures living in Georgian, also we were invaded many times but Persians Tatars, Turks so we have many things from their culture too. Sometimes I think we are mix of European and Asian.
You got family in?

ye i got family in Ozurgeti in guria =D

Totally agree with you Kelly, after a few drinks it's possible to dance like that (I do not know how to dance without drinking first :)). Maybe we should go to an audition to try to get into the group! :lol:

Arne thanks for a nice reply, I am pretty sure I did not give 5 likes today so why wont it let me do :(( annoying.

Party! I'm leaving to supermarket to gather some snacks already (:
- Anyways, the dance is nice, got nothing much to comment as I'm not that fan of dance arts, especially ballet, though on this one, It's actually entertaining to watch, not falling asleep while watching it.

Thank you Rawplus, I am not a great fun of ballet or opera even though I have been on Swan lake once and on Karmen and I enjoyed both. This is very different from a regular ballet as you see and each different dance represents different corners of Georgia and different subjects (war, hunting, male and female relationship, etc.) It is of course easier to understand for Georgian people, those dances represent our mentality and couture very well. When you are live on concert your blood is boiling and audience often shouts and encourages dancers, it is an amazing opportunity and many foreigners come and enjoy the show.
Hope you have a nice party, dont break your toes, if you attempt any of those moves :)
