2. Admiration: In this slow Armenian dance, girls and boys are praising each other’s virtues. They stand in two rows facing each other. Rhythmically the girls dance toward the boys, praising their daring, courage, vigilance, and compassion. Rhythmically they move away. The boys rhythmically move towards the girls, praising their beauty in its various expressions, their gracefulness, tenderness, and patience. Rhythmically they move away.
