Born in the land of Khorazm, the Lazgi encapsulate human creativity by reflecting the sounds and phenomena of surrounding nature, feelings of love and happiness.

The dance has centuries-old roots.

Nowadays, Lazgi is popular in all regions of Uzbekistan. This dance is characterized by movements on the half-bent legs, shaking shoulders and arms, with ringing bells attached to them. During the dance, all the musicians, singers and dance performers act in a harmonized way, and the lyrics of the songs are mainly devoted to glorifying love and kindness.
