Khorazm dance lazgi
Having century’s long historical roots, the movements of the “Khorazm Dance - Lazgi” present human creativity in reflecting sounds and phenomens of the surrounding nature, feelings of love and happiness. The paintings of dance performers exist in the archaeological site of Tuproqqala, located in the Khorazm Region. While the scenery dance represents these feelings through the concrete movements, its daily-based interpretation will focus mainly on the improvisation as the rhythm and dance movements became more dynamic with the changable and renewable actions. nMelody and dance of “Lazgi” are so attractive that spectators cannot resist staying apart and they will voluntarily start dancing.
