Parevaza

Parevaza (პარევაზა) is a traditional Georgian folk dance originating from the Achara region. It is characterized by its energetic and competitive nature, often performed by male dancers who showcase their strength, agility, and precision. The dance typically features rapid footwork, leaps, turns, and a dynamic interplay between the performers, often resembling a mock battle or contest of skill. Music accompaniment usually involves traditional Georgian instruments such as the chonguri (a long-necked lute), doli (a double-headed drum), and zurna (a wind instrument). Parevaza is a vibrant expression of Georgian culture and is often performed during festivals and celebrations. It serves as a display of athleticism, artistry, and cultural heritage.
