We continue our series of articles exploring traditional Armenian dances. Today, we present a new article featuring two dances from the Diyarbakir area – “Shoushan” and “Halal” (Dance of Lidje).
In addition to written instructions, the article also includes a short instructional video/tutorial.
Here is the link to the

The team of experts collaborating with Houshamadyan to prepare these pages consists of Carolyn Rapkievian (of Bar Harbor, Maine), Susan and Gary Lind-Sinanian (of Watertown, Massachusetts), Tom Bozigian (of Los Angeles, California), and Robert Haroutunian (of Sunnyside, New York).
