Tamzara

Burnaby International Folk Dancers perform Tamzara from Armenia at Burnaby Discovery Day Festival on July 18, 2010. This Tamzara was introduced to Burnaby Folk Dancers by Tineke van Geel in 2009. This version was taught by Paylak Sarkisian in Armenia, and adapted by Tineke van Geel.

There is a city in şebinkarahisar in Turkey which called Tamzara I guess the song is the Same historic heritage with Şebinkarahisar. Because we have the same sound to dance 💃🏻😊🔊 the song can be cultural bridge between the both countries 🌉🎶

Clothing is European, not Armenian. Armenian clothing is usually depicted dark, like red, black or purple with lots of Oriental jewelry on the forehead, wrists and neck like that depicted among the gypsy or Palestinian peoples.

Is this Burnaby the suburb of Vancouver? It has a new growing Armenian population. My cousin Viken lives there.

I CLICKED 'THUMBS DOWN' AS THAT IS NOT TAMZARA BUT A COMPOSED DANCE WITHOUT THE TRADITIONAL STEP PATTERN. MUSIC IS GREAT AND
DANCERS PERFORMING WELL. SUGGEST LABELING IT 'COMPOSED DANCE
TO TAMZARA MUSIC"  P.S. THEY ARE MISSING OUT ON A BEAUTIFUL
AND TRADITIONAL ARMENIAN DANCE.

it seems like you mixed the traditional version and the American-Armenian version. But one note Armenians almost never close the circle... Thanks for the video...
