Sheshen - Dance of the Anatolian Circassians by Nalmes

Dance of the Anatolian Circassians or locally known as Sheshen is a very popular Circassian dance performed in every wedding and celebration ceremony. Its origin is not known clearly, but modern versions are inspired by Circassians living in Turkey. It has a moderate pace although there are some faster versions mixed with Lezginka in some regions.
Every couple performs the dance inside a wide circle surrounded by the crowd and guests. Couples take the floor one by one and show their skills to the community. In this specific dance the woman is in control all the time and floats around with different paces and the man should follow her trying to do his best to get her attention and the crowd's appreciation. The other men in the circle encourage and support him during the dance with cheers and chants, and sometimes they join the man for a very short period as seen in this choreography @ 4:16.
Although there are some basic elements, custom improvisations are very important in Circassian folk. Performers should not repeat other people's patterns and they have to be creative because individual compositions are seen as a signature for the person. Like all other Circassian dances, the dance duration depends on the woman and keeps going on until she decides to finish it. It's considered a very rude behavior if the man leaves the dance area first.

Адыги-Черкессы это народ у которого самое большое количество разнообразных народных танцев. НЕТ ДРУГОГО ТАКОГО НАРОДА В МИРЕ. Высочайшая культура которую хотели стереть с лица земли , а затем себе присвоить, что и частично сделали.

В названии значится чеченские танцы, а на самом деле это кабардинский танец) Тоже кавказ, но другая Республика! Тимура Нахушева не хватает здесь. Вот он классный танцор! Посмотрите , загуглите: "Къэбэрдей гуп - Льапэрисэ (live) ✋️🫡

[@user-vm4wp7pc6y]

Вот пока есть такие как Вы адыги не станут единым народом. Или Вы провокатор? Танец называется "адыгэ шыщэн - танец черкесов Анатолии". Почему кабардинцы любят себя везде выделять?

I don't think we've kept any old aristocratic dances. We've got clog dancing and Morris dancing and sword dancing.
