Sokiv Jamor
Dancers wearing elaborate costumes with golden embroidery hold mirrors in their hands while dancing. ‘Sokiv jamor’ means ‘beautiful women’ in Tajik, and the dance could only be performed by royal court dancers for the Shah (King in Persian). Each team typically consists of 10, 16 or 24 women, who dance to Shashmaqom, a traditional musical genre invented by court musicians in the 17th century. The traditional dances of Tajikistan are more complicated and technical than those of other Central Asian nations. Dance is one of the oldest genres of art in Tajikistan and receives a wide range of government support in the present day.\n\nCharacteristics:\n∙Court dance performed by female dancers holding mirrors\n\nPerformed by Bazmoro Tajikistan National Dance Ensemble\nDirected by Qurbonali Kholov

Naqqoshlik (ornament-making) art
"Naqqoshlik is drawing an ornament - a pattern built on rhythmic alternation and a combination of geometric or graphic elements, performed by means of painting, drawing, sculpture or embroidery. Uzbek national patterns have their own names, going back in history. Traditional Uzbek ornament is found in decorative art embroideries, in wood carvings, in paintings on clay and ceramics, on Uzbek fabrics, on buildings. At the heart of the ornament is a picture of simple things. For example, knives are designed to protect, a flowering garden is a symbol of fertility and agriculture. Each flower carries information: a scarlet poppy - the image of an innocent girl, a tulip - a symbol of purity, a rose - peace and beauty, wildflowers - a young man. Often, a different meaning was embedded in the image of flowers. For example, they believed that they carried healing power and health.\nThe ornament creates a vector image in which a magical meaning is laid, reflecting the course of human life. This is an oriental vector style with geometric patterns. Geometric patterns have abstract forms:\n- zigzag lines;\n- circles;\n- polyhedra;\n- stars;\n- ornamental motifs - meander;\n- human figures;\n- stylized inscriptions.\nEthnic patterns are folklore images, folk motifs in which a creative union of religion and culture is concluded. They carry a semantic and ritual load.\n"\n
