This category contains English language sites relating to folk dancing styles from Armenia. The Armenian diaspora led to a large population outside of Armenia, who retained aspects of their culture, including dance. Armenian folk dance thus also includes the dances of these groups which offer several 'dialects' due to local influences. For example Armenians from Lebanon have picked up Arabic influences such as the debka hold, Kurdish Armenians adopt crouching movements whilst those in America include more swaying and hip movement than the traditional style.
