International Dance Festival Tour in Uzbekistan

Spring in Uzbekistan is alive with flowers… and festivals! Foreign and local visitors gather to experience the unique traditions, fascinating culture and authentic cuisine of the country in lavish celebrations. This year's International Lazgi Dance Festival will be held in the legendary city of Khiva from April 25 - 30^th. Lazgi is a dance from the Khorezm region, and a UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage.

Khiva lies in the historical Khorezm region. It's a fairy tale city of ancient treasures, famous as an open-air museum of architecture and history and the last stop for caravans crossing the desert to Persia on the ancient Silk Road. The Khorezm region is known for warm hospitality, an amazing variety of summer melons and its incredibly delicious local dill noodles! There are thousand year old restored structures like the green-tiled Ichan Qala and Islam Khodja Minaret and the peaceful Juma mosque with its hundreds of carved pillars. Khorezm was known as the land of a thousand fortresses, with caravanserai and strongholds strung along the desert to welcome travelers and ward off enemies. Go on your own modern day caravan with a jaunt on a camel safari ride and a stay in a nomadic yurt under a desert night sky dazzling with stars!

Both the Lazgi Dance Festival and the Raks Sekhri Festival (Magic of Dance) are held in Khiva this year. The Raks Sekhri will take place August 14-16, 2022 with foreign dance groups participating alongside ensembles from regions all over Uzbekistan.
