(Russian: Лезгинка, Ossetic: тымбыл кафт, зилгæ кафт, Lezgian Лезги кьуьл;
Azerbaijani: Ləzgi, Georgian: ლეკური) is a national dance of many people in the

Iranian Azerbaijan, Mountain Jews, the Russian Kuban and Terek Cossacks and the
various ethnicities of Dagestan such as the Avars, Dargins and Kumyks have their
own versions.
Lezginka can be a solo, couple or group dance. Men and women are dressed in
traditional costumes; men wear a sword adorned on their side and women in long,
flowing dresses. The man, imitating an eagle, dances in quick, concise steps;
falling to his knees and leaping up quickly. The woman dances quietly, taking light,
small steps—giving the appearance of her floating around the floor.
When the dance is performed in pairs, the couples do not touch; the woman
acknowledges the man, and dances discreetly about him.
