  Kotsari - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Kotsari (Greek), Kochari (Armenian), Kocari (Turkish) is a dance from the Kars, Artvin region of Pontos (Black Sea), an ancient kingdom in the area of modern Turkey.
A Greek dance originally from the Kars region of Pontos,[1] its name derives from the word kots which means "heel bone" in the Pontic dialect, refering to the lifting of the foot in several steps.
Unlike most Pontic dances, the Kotsari is in an even rhythm (2/4), originally danced in a closed circle.
