Lezginka

Lezginka

Lezginka or Lezghinka is a folk dance popular among many people in the Caucasus Mountains. It derives its names from the Lezgin people; nevertheless, Azerbaijanis, Circassians, Georgians, Abkhazians, Kabardins, Chechens, Mountain Jews, Ossetians, the Russian Kuban and Terek Cossacks and the various ethnicities of Dagestan have their own versions.
