Experience
Georgian Dance


This act takes its inspiration from a long tradition of resistance in the Republic of Georgia , where inhabitants took to battle with numerous invaders over the centuries. The movements of the dancers recall the Georgians' struggles against powers that sought to dominate their land. Endurance, precision and more than a hint of frenzy mark this act.

One of the most energetic dances on earth is the Georgian dance. Known for their quick twists, spins and leaps, the dance is performed by three male dancers, all from Georgia. One of the highlights of the performance is during the clashing swords element. The house lights dim as the stage became aflame, highlighted by the sparks of the crashing swords. A shocking and wonderful way to end the first half of the show.
