Folk dance and musical instruments: Armenian ethnographers hope to breathe new life into traditional cultural arts

By Karine Ionesyan

The Armenian Ministry of Education and Science together with a few Armenian ethnographers plan to initiate a new national program from September in secondary schools, teaching courses in Armenian traditional dances.

“It was planned to have dance courses even a year ago, but a flu was spread at schools, and there were some other obstacles, too,” says Gagik Ginosyan, specialist in traditional dances, art director of ‘Karin’ traditional song-dance troupe.

Not a bad idea, but I think the ministry of ed or even the church proposes religious studies in school as well. Very important in my opinion.
