Dance is a language that everyone understands without words, and a folk dance tune in processing Ramie daroka @rami_daroka “Islamey” contains a story about two lovers who, with the help of dance, were able to “tell” each other the most important thing...
“One fine day, a young shepherd named Islam noticed an eagle and an eagle circling in the azure sky, who soared in a circle, as if admiring each other from afar, and then flew together, wanting to express something secret. Their flight reminded the young man of the hidden feelings in his heart and excited him. He remembered his beloved, and he also wanted to admire her, to express to her everything that had accumulated in him during the separation. But he did not succeed soon, and it was not so easy for the Circassians to meet their chosen one. However, at one of the wedding celebrations he was lucky: he was invited to dance with his beloved girl. Here, imitating the style of eagles, he used a new dance pattern - movement in a circle. The girl understood his plan, and the young people were able to express all their feelings to each other in their dance. Since then, this dance was born, which was called “Islamey” - “belonging to Islam,” as the legend says.
