Characteristics of Kazakh Dance

What are the characteristics of Kazakh dance?

Kazak dance is characterized by:

1, Karajiaoleha men's movements are brisk, vigorous and powerful, imitating the walking, running, jumping and other postures of dark horses, showing a bold, wild and unrestrained style in the relaxed rhythm of the whole body. Women's movements are graceful, stretching, lively and subtle, such as "flower praise" that shows the beauty and pride of girls, "shy peep" that peeks at lovers, and "hanging flowers with skirts" that lean forward and lean back. These male and female movements all contain specific contents, which are integrated with the inner feelings of the performers and humorous facial expressions, and can be freely played according to the dancers' own level, constantly adding new contents and movements. Performers often incorporate all kinds of dynamics with strong characteristics in their work and life into the dance, which enriches the dance vocabulary and performance content of Karajiaoleha, and derives dances such as Felt Dance, Milking Dance, Embroidery Dance and Lamian Noodles Dance.

2. Caragio Leha can perform at large gatherings or in small yurts. You can dance solo, dance in pairs, or perform in groups. The method of dancing can also vary from person to person and from place to place. According to the atmosphere and environment at that time, there were relaxed and pleasant performances, strong performances and humorous performances, thus obtaining various artistic effects. After grazing, Kazakhs often dance Karagioleha, singing and dancing with the voice of Dongbula.

3. Caragio Leha has music of the same name. This kind of music has a strong sense of rhythm, lively and lively, and the melody is like a galloping horse on the grassland. Dombrat, a traditional Kazakh musical instrument, changes the rhythm according to the speed of the dance, forming similar local characteristics and personal playing skills.

4. Caragio Leha does not need special costumes and props when improvising, and can improvise dance anytime and anywhere. In folk activities and other performances, you need to wear a felt hat, a shirt and vest with colorful patterns, trousers and boots, and a belt.

Aga Jiayi

"Agagai" is Kazakh, which means hometown. As long as Kazakhs mention "Agayi", they will think of Altay. Agagyi, a large-scale Kazak national song and dance poem, expresses Kazak songs and dances in a lyrical way, deduces grassland culture in a modern artistic way, and reflects the history, tradition, life and dreams of Kazak in Xinjiang. This is a beautiful, affectionate and imaginative work.
