On Saturday and Sunday July 30 and 31 2011, the Nairi Dance Ensemble of Hamazkayin participated in the 7th Regional World Traditional Dances Festival in Eghio and the 17th similar Festival of the Zevgolatio region in Corinth.
The Municipality of Corinth invited the Hamazkayin Dance Ensemble, which has become tradition for the festival in the past three years. The invitation is a tribute to the near-professional performance quality of its members. The Hamazkayin Dance Ensemble performed four dances: “Kochari,” “The blue bird,” “Shalakho,” and “Fortress.” Their performance enlivened the Armenian and Greek audience. In addition to the Nairi Dance Ensemble of Hamazkayin, other traditional dance ensembles from throughout Greece, as well as other countries participated in the event.
This was the 5th time Hamazkayin participated in the Festival of Zevgolatio region of Corinth. Besides performing Armenian folk dances, the members of Nairi Dance Ensemble of Hamazkayin had the opportunity to see the sites in both cities and returned to Athens late Sunday evening.
