Georgian folk dances impress with their brightness, incredible fire, sumptuous costumes and the interweaving of history with art. They give incredibly great pleasure to both the audience and the dancers themselves. No one has remained indifferent after such a spectacle! Today we offer you to get acquainted with the most famous Georgian folk dances and learn a little about their history:
Georgian National Dances: General information
The exact date of the origin of Georgian national dances is not known. However, it is supposed that the Georgian dancing folk was mentioned for the first time before our era.
In different parts of the country during many years were appearing unique dancing movements which have passed from generation to generation. And you will note that the dances of mountainous region inhabitants are characterized by sharp and rapid movements while the dance movements of plain inhabitants are smooth. Each Georgian national dance requires special costumes which resemble the clothes of inhabitants of different regions.

The Folk of Gloucester is a museum which is housed in two of the oldest buildings in the City of Gloucester, a Tudor merchant's house and a 17th-century town house. The timber framed museum in Westgate Street is devoted to the social history of Gloucestershire.
Bishop John Hooper is said to have lodged in the building the night before he was executed in St. Mary's square, near the cathedral in 1555.

Avec leur livre Folk, voyage dans l’Angleterre réenchantée, le journaliste Thomas Andrei et le photographe Theo McInnes traversent les renaissances du druidisme. Entre dérèglement climatique et marasme sociétal, la balade est aussi l’occasion de réinventer une approche documentaire, un équilibre délicat entre nécessité visuelle et narration.

I found these brave folk at first light this morning taking a dip in the deep cold waters of Plymouth. They are in fact practicing for a charity swim across our channel.
Let me know contact details if you find these 2 photos, chaps, and I'll figure a way to send the photo files and make a small donation. All the best, Chimes😊
Thank you for viewing, faving or commenting on my images, have a great day!

South African 60's/70's Folk Singer; Des Lindberg's folk song: 'The Seagull's name was Nelson' :-)
1971
'The Seagull's Name Was Nelson' - Des and Dawn Lindberg (Peter E Bennett) [3.14]
Des Lindberg: vocals, guitar/ Dawn Lindberg (nee Silver): vocals, guitar
This anti-pollution protest song (and an oblique reference to Nelson Mandela, residing on Robben Island at the time) reached #4 on the Springbok charts in July 1971 and stayed 12 weeks in the Top Twenty. Des and Dawn won the SARIE award for Best Vocal Group in 1971 (and again in 1973).
Pure political folk. This song strikes me as nearly as powerful and timely a song as Bright Blue's 'Weeping'. When originally released, was anyone in doubt as to what it was about?

I Greci pensavano che la danza fosse un regalo degli Dei per dimenticare i propri dolori e le preoccupazioni! Per gli antichi Greci era considerata tra le più gentili espressioni dell’uomo e parte importante dell’educazione dei loro figli.
In nessun paese europeo la danza locale è così viva e così legata alla vita quotidiana, come in Grecia. Ci sono paesi stranieri con un maggior numero di gruppi di danza. Tuttavia, in questi Stati la danza è sopravvissuta solo grazie agli spettacoli. Raramente gli abitanti balleranno le loro danze nelle feste dei paesi, nei matrimoni, o nelle taverne, come avviene in Grecia.
Per nessun altro popolo la danza ha un ruolo così importante, come mezzo di “mantenimento dell’Identità Nazionale”!
