State Academic Honored Dance Ensemble of the Republic of Dagestan "Lezginka"
The dance ensemble "Lezginka" is a legendary group that conquered the world with incendiary Caucasian dances, fiery temperament and virtuoso skill of the artists. Lezginka and other folk dances performed by the famous ensemble are something enchanting! It is no coincidence that the audience is looking forward to every performance of the renowned choreographic troupe, which revived the ancient mountain customs.
Mountains and valleys, fast rivers, glaciers and avalanches falling from rocks - such is the Caucasus, a mountainous region, indented by thousands of gorges and valleys, inhabited by brave and proud people. For all the peoples of the North Caucasus, a hot Lezginka has become a real cult, a traditional symbol of their cultural life and a reflection of the character and inner world of the highlanders. Initially, it was a warrior's dance, in which Caucasian men demonstrated the strength, masculinity and dexterity of a trained body.
The colorful concert program of the Lezginka ensemble, the winner of 48 world famous folklore dance festivals among professional groups, includes dances of the peoples of Dagestan, the Caucasus and other regions of Russia.
