Georgian dance

The Georgian dance (Georgian: ქართული ცეკვა), commonly known as Kartuli, is the traditional dance of Georgia. It stems from military moves, sports games, and dances celebrated during holidays in the Middle Ages. The dance was popularized by the founders of the Georgian National Ballet, Iliko Sukhishvili, and his wife, Nino Ramishvili. Two folk dances, Perkhuli and Khorumi, are on the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Georgia list.
