The charming energy of this Caucasian dance makes a direct connection with the powerful nature of ancient mountains and with the joyful vibration of the Black sea coast.

My name is Alima Chichibabina. I am a professional choreographer and a human physiologist. I have been dancing and teaching Caucasian and Middle Asian dances for the last 10 years. In my instructor practice were many students of adult and kids ages, so I know how to explain complicated body coordination in a simple way.
The most common feedback from my offline adult students was that they felt inner-growing Feminine energy during dancing.
I definitely can say that this type of plasticity and body language is a unique method to develop self-esteem and a very delicate sensuality for any contemporary woman.
All Caucasian female dances are about searching for our inner Queen through motion.
If you haven't seen Caucasian dances before I will briefly explain that they are still keeping the wisdom of nature in a very pure way. Male and female parties are extremely different and they are manifestations of the Sun and the Moon. Or in animalistic meaning, they are embodiments of the Eagle and the Swan Spirits. It means that through any female Caucasian dance you can directly invocate inside your being very powerful patterns of the Woman essence.
All you need to start is just to be ready to meet with the Beauty which is waiting inside you to flourish through the dance. Focus on your intention, some patience, positive mood, and let us start!
