For those who are wondering why the dances of the Scots and Irish are similar to ours the English intelligence officer James Bell lived in the Circassian villages for three years, from 1837 to 1839. He left written observations of traditional dances, songs, musical instruments, in which he repeatedly pointed out the identity between the Circassian and Scottish music: “If I didn’t know anything about them (Circassian melodies) and I was asked what they represent, I would answer:“ Old Scottish songs ”. ["Journal of a residence in Circassia during the years 1837, 1838, and 1839", Bell James Stanislaus, 1840.] There is also an Irish dance called the "Circassian circle", of course it is not the same as ours, but there are similar moments, but neither we nor the Irish need to be accused of stealing, after all, we have very similar stories with the Celts (we experienced it ourselves bad empires) and places of residence, these are mountains and foothills
Doesn't really matter.. your dances/costumes/dancers are still exquisitely and uniquely beautiful! Another wonderful example here: ua-cam.com/video/F4nczjS0j30/v-deo.html
I Totally love this and I dont know why. The closest is that I feel a deep connection; it touches my soul somehow, but I have no ethnic connection here... It does not matter this, music and dance are positively life affirming.... Love it... I will keep learning about this beautiful population... Much love from USA
Same with me! I'm fascinated. Have you caught the wonderful video of Ubykh children performing a traditional dance at a Ubykh wedding reception? You may already know that the Ubykhs were one of the thirteen original Circassian tribes of the Caucasus before the Russian policy of decimation and subjugation under Czar Alexander II caused a mass migration of Ubykhs into Turkey along with other Circassians. Some Ubykhs also settled in Palestine at that time and later became Israeli citizens. Although, they still have their own distinct community there. [Please note: "Ubykh" is misspelled the video heading.] Enjoy it! ua-cam.com/video/F4nczjS0j30/v-deo.html

@@hyperform isn’t that amazing? Circassia to Scotland. Either very many years ago a Scottish traveller went to Circassia and brought it back or a traveller from Circassia brought it to Scotland.
@@wildalbalass4867 The similarities are interesting, sure but many symbols, mythology and rituals are very common in Northern European Pagan Cultures as John Colorusso mentioned in his studies. They might be somehow related millennials ago or influenced each other. Black Sea Circassians were in constant contact with many cultures including Greeks as sea trade was very important and the region was a very busy passage between Eurasia and Middle East all the time. As an interesting note, Loreena Mckennitt believes her roots are in Northern Caucasus and actually she visited a small town in Turkey where many Circassian/Abkhazian villages are settled around it and she performed traditional dances with local people there. The origins of Circassian/Abkhazians are very disputable topic. They have no genetic or linguistic relations with their neighboring nations. It looks as if they were there all the time as far as we know. Maybe we might learn much more info in the future as more people study on them.

Please keep this tradition alive, it is truely amazing and beautiful at the same time. Please never lose this culture, and keep your maiden tongue. xxxx
In England there is an element of dance called the "Circassian circle". This is from those times when English diplomats vizited Cicassian in the 18-19 century

Io sono italiana amante delle danze popolari e grazie al Cerchio circasso sono arrivata a conoscere la storia della Circassia e del suo popolo ... grazie a voi scopro le similitudini con le danze irlandesi. È incredibile come la vita faccia i suoi percorsi. Le danze circasse sono bellissime, i danzatori e danzatrici eccezionali.
Circassians have often been called the most beautiful ethnic group on the Earth. A mixture of good genetics, diet and living at high altitudes also enables them to live far older than many other ethnic groups. Many among them live into their 100s
But none of these dancers fit the description of the actual Circassians of old. I think the title remains, but between the genocides, harem slavery, and diaspora and the mixing that comes with that, the actual Circassian people are sadly extinct.
@@deaddocreallydeaddoc5244 The Circassians have nothing to do with Harem Only two daughters of Circassian princes married two sultans The first princess was the wife of Sultan Suleiman the Magnificent The second princess is the mother of Sultan Abdul Hamid The women of Al-Harem were from Ukraine and Greece, and others like them were captured, including the daughters of Ukrainian and Greek priests.

Well they're not exactly Celts, the Kabardinka and Adyghe Circassians are a Western Caucasian ethnic group related to the Abkhazi people of Turkey and Georgia.
Circassian dancers have so much grace and expression in their performance and couple that with the beauty of the females, you have nothing short of perfection.

I looked at the comments I don’t know what kind of dancing this really is but it’s fantastic
У кабардинцев свой особенный почерк во всем. Браво.
Скажи Адыг, не разделяй, мы и так как песчинки разбросаны по всей земле
А танец то западных черкесов
Не у кабардинцев, а у адыгов ! Тем более , этот танец черноморских черкесов !
Восхищает каждый черкесский танец до глубины души
Красивые люди..! Красивые танцы
Fire, perfection. Love it!
Absolutely FABULOUS!! The dancers are INCREDIBLE! How do they perform such intricate choreography so flawlessly??
какой красивый танец, а музыка вообще супер❤
Circassian dancing has become an addiction for me
Me too :)
Have you tried to go and doing it yet?
