		While dances do change when adapted for performance, it is worth bearing in mind that because so much Armenian traditional dance and music was tragically obliterated as a result of the massacres and diaspora, the survival of these arts in any form is something to celebrate.
		Generally, I place Armenian dances into four categories: dances from Eastern Caucasian Armenia, from Western Anatolian Armenia, from Greater Armenia, and diaspora dances.
		There are other dances, mainly danced closely linked together, which I think of as being from `Greater Armenia', that is, from the territory which used to be Armenian and where dances and music reveal an Armenian influence, even though the dances might be called Turkish, Kurdish, or Assyrian.

		In the Armenian capital of Yerevan, choreographic schools and state song and dance ensembles aim to preserve folk dance traditions in a format suitable for stage presentation.
		The Armenians, descendants of a branch of Indo-Europeans, settled after the fifth century B.C.E. and established the first Christian state in 301 C.E. A strong cultural identity was established early on, largely thanks to the invention of the Armenian alphabet in 406 C.E. Other inhabitants included Persians, Byzantines, Arabs, Assyrians and Turks.
		War and suffering continue to plague the Armenian republic, parts of which remain devastated by the massive earthquake of 1988, but the Armenian people have ensured their survival in the strong roots they have put down in all the places the winds of change have carried them.

		She imbues the Mexican cumbia style--which is itself a variation on a Colombian form of dance music integrating Latin, Native American, and African styles--with blues, jazz, and even a little hip-hop as pre-Colombian and Mexican percussion nestles comfortably with strings and electric guitar, piano, and bass.
		Along with the dance tunes, the band also accompanies vocalist Cairan O Gealbhain on a number of songs that he beautifully sings in both Irish and English.
		Ulla Bendixsen's voice dances delicately in Danish over the techno backdrop, spinning tales of romance and loss while hurdy-gurdy, bagpipes, violin, and sequencers pulse on in dark, urgent colors.

	Sacred Circle Dancing: New Haven, CT
		Some of the dances are so old that we are unsure of their origins, knowing only that they were done among the great standing stones of Gaul or in Armenian mountain villages.
		Circle dance has grown out of the European traditional folk dance community, thanks to a German dancer, Bernard Wosien, who believed that many traditional dances were being lost to modern culture.
		These dances give form to our images of that time, which rest in our collective unconscious today, and the lyrics of the music enable us to experience the oral traditions and poetic verse through which much of our culture and history was communicated and preserved.

	Armenian Club Forum - Looking for REAL Armenian music
		What you're looking for is probably classical Armenian music with traditional instruments that they use in the dance groups (If I take it correctly that you don't want Armenian music that requires instruments to be plugged into the electrical socket).
		The thing is, I don't want pop music with a bad key board synthisizer which happens to be 90% of "Armenian Music"...
		Then there is the other kind of REAL Armenian music...the koosanagan genre, which is the songs of the ministrels, the most famous of them being of course Sayat Nova.

		Circle dance has grown out of the European traditional folk dance community, thanks to a German dancer, Bernard Wosien, who believed that many traditional dances were being lost to modern culture.
		Because these dances grew up in societies that were more agrarian than industrial, many tell stories of cycles of nature and our relationship to the earth; others tell stories of gender and age and relationships in a time when communities appreciated life's passages as another manifestation of the cycles within nature.
