In my school, we have a very good folk dance teacher. He is always happy and full of energy. He helps us feel strong and enjoy the dances. I have many favorite dances, but my most favorite is Yarkhushta. It is a strong and loud dance. You need a lot of energy to dance it. Without energy, you can’t dance Yarkhushta. At school, we learn folk dances one day a week. Usually we dance, but if we are tired, we sit and talk. Sometimes we talk about Armenian music and national dances. There are dances only for boys, and some only for girls. Boys dance stronger dances, and girls dance softer ones. We mostly learn Armenian folk dances. When we dance, we must feel the music and move with our heart. Dance is not only moving—it is art. It needs energy and feeling. Our teacher also teaches dance outside of school. He goes to different places in Armenia. He brings people together, and they dance until late at night. He says it helps people stay close to Armenian culture and be happy together.
