Directed by Anatoli Kvasov, the program will include classic Georgian dances, dances from Abkhasia, Adjarian folk dances, and more.
Many of the dances reflect the importance of family in Russian culture, as they are performed in couples, often with the men competing for the women and engaging in impressive battles of physical demonstrations and complex movements.

In the words of Anatoli Kvasov, “The ensemble strives to present the folk traditions it performs not only as beautiful relics of the past, but also as the living art of the present.” -- www.statetheatrenj.org
