Armenian Dance 2.0 - Luys Collective x Paraxumb

Welcome back! This time, we are being led by Vika from Paraxumb, and we will learn traditional Armenian folk dance steps along with the rich history behind each move. Many of these dances originate from historic Western Armenia and have been preserved through years of ethnographic research. This event is not just about dancing; it’s a celebration of cultural heritage that continues to thrive.
