Yarkhushta
Yarkhushta ((アルメニア語:Յարխուշտա), ) is an Armenian folk and martial dance〔 associated with the highlands of the historical region of Sassoun in Western Armenia.〔 Yarkhushta belongs to a wider category of Armenian "clap dances" (ծափ-պարեր, ''tsap parer''). The dance is performed by men, who face each other in pairs. The key element of the dance is a forward movement when participants rapidly approach one another and vigorously clap onto the palms of hands of dancers in the opposite row (). ==History and tradition== Yarkhushta is believed to have its origins in the early Middle Ages as it is mentioned in the works of Movses Khorenatsi, Faustus of Byzantium, and Grigor Magistros. Yarkhushta has traditionally been danced by Armenian soldiers before combat engagements, partly for ritualistic purposes, and partly in order to cast off fear and boost battle spirit.〔 Diana Der-Hovanessian.
