Armenian folk songs and dances have always made our people proud. In our school, we have special lessons about Armenian dances, and I think they are very beautiful and important. Armenia has many traditional dances, like Kochari.
Sometimes our school organizes trips to villages or mountains, and there we perform our folk dances. We have one dance lesson each week where we learn different dances and practice more.
Armenians often dance at weddings and other celebrations. Every school day at 9:00, we have a “general training” where we sing Armenian folk songs and dance together.
I always attend these classes and take an active part in singing and dancing. I really enjoy the strength and energy of our dances. It is very important to learn about your country’s culture, and folk songs and dances are an important part of it.
