Dancing Hues-Georgian


KARTULI-GEORGIAN

(Acrylic on canvas-90cm x 60cm)

Kartuli is the quintessential Georgian dance. It is the one dance which has not been choreographed for the stage but is danced according to very definite rules of sequence and relation between the man and the woman. The dance expresses chivalry between Georgian men and women. The man shows a most respectful attitude towards the woman. It is characterized by keeping the upper body very still. Kartuli is governed by very strict rules the man must not touch the woman, not even with his coat.
