Kurdish dance (Kurdish: ''Govend'', ''ههڵپهركێ '' / ''Hilperkê'' 〔(Govend ), Kurdish Wiktionary.〕) is a group of traditional hand-holding dances similar to those from the Middle Eastern countries. It is a form of a circle dance, with a single or a couple of figure dancers often added to the geometrical centre of the dancing circle. According to the Encyclopaedia of Islam, Kurds sing and dance in all of their festivals, birthdays, New Years, Newroz, marriage and other ceremonies. Its noteworthy that these folkloric dances are mixed-gender which distinguishes the Kurds from other neighbouring Muslim populations.〔''Kurds, Kurdistan'', Part 4.

BRILL Publishers, 1986, 1263 pp. (see p. 477).〕 ==Roots of Kurdish dance== Kurdish dances reflect samples of Kurdish life over the past thousands of years. Rhythmic and elegant movements (originating from historical record, geographical location, the Kurdish way of living, beliefs, work and struggle, war and quarrel), are called Halparke (or ''Helperkê/Hilperkê'' in Kurdish alphabet). Halparke has got its special place in Kurd's culture in a way that knowing about that needs the deep and valid slight of the viewers to watch the dancers' singing and giving thanks in ''Hoshar'' fighting against cruelty in ''Zangi'' joy and happiness in ''Garyan'', etc.. The dancers, hand in hand, are depositories of centuries of revealed culture in Halparke that indicates their unity in history. These movements differ in different parts of Kurdistan from the variety point of views, and joy and worry have their own special place. Some kinds of these rhythms wear out and are forgotten through the passage of time. Kurdish people from Kurdistan mainly dance the helperke; it is easier and the simplest. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Kurdish dance」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
