Tabriz Azerbaijani Music and Dance Ensemble (TAMDE) was founded in Toronto in 2003. It originally consisted of Dance and Music groups, but recently we have added a Choir group as well. The Music and Dance groups have in recent years expanded in number, in diversity of instruments and dances, as well as, in repertoire. We are a 30-person ensemble. Our dance troupe has, since 2003, developed an impressive and vast repertoire of dances. We largely dance traditional Azerbaijani dances, and we also incorporate and are inspired by Lezginka, and Georgian dance moves. We have danced at many festivals, including the Kitchener Waterloo Multicultural Festival and Harbourfront Multicultural Festival, many cultural celebrations including Nowruz events, as well as successfully hosting over 10 events of our own. Our most recent events were our sold out shows for Winter Solstice and Nowruz in 2015. Our repertoire includes lyrical, and rhythmic solo and couple dances, large group yallis, as well as Lezginka style dances. Our troupe consists of 10 dancers, a coordinator as well as a sound and technical manager. The TAMDE dance group will be performing 3 traditional dances showcasing three different styles of dance including Yalli, a couple dance and a Lezginka. Yalli is an upbeat traditional Azerbaijani group dance, which has its roots in ancient times. In fact the Yalli dance has been depicted in Gobustan, Azerbaijan in petroglyphs dating back to the 12th Century BC. The couple dance is a beautiful portrayal of grace and power. Lastly, the group Lezginka dance will be performed by male and female dancers in male costumes, performing traditionally male dance moves. All three dances are up-tempo, powerful and energizing.

Kurdish Dance

This work includes a handful of famous styles of Kurdish dance that are mostly based on the forms of Kurdistan Iran (Sanandaj, Kermanshah, Hewraman, Mehabad, Merivan, Serdasht, etc.). It covers very ancient dance styles being re-choreographed andrefreshed for the stage performances plus few fully new designed dances as well. 1. Khan Hatgeh- This is one of the versions of the versatile and most famous dance style in Sanandaj region called "Geryan" that is performed in almost any happy event. The so-called Geryan melody is also quite popular and nearly most of the Kurdish singers have recorded at least one song based on this melody. 2. Sena-i, Meryvani, Kermashani, Se-pa and Fatah Pawsha- These are verities of the Shayaneh style that - to some extent-is similar to Geryan in terms of choreography but it is much more rhythmic and involves more complicated moves. It is performed in almost all areas and hence played in many variations mostly called by the name of the region. For instance, Sena-i is its version of Sanandaj city, so do the others. 3. Farkheh - This is a fully new developed style by Mostafa Nosraty. 4. Shekaki and Shekhani- Specific to northern and western parts of Kurdistan and Western Azerbaijan. Also performed widely in the Kurdish regions of Iraq and Turkey in many varieties. 5. Khan Amiri and Zandi- These two styles belong to very ancient times of southern Kurdistan with their own specific dance melodies and were mostly practiced by skilled dancers before the time of electronic instruments. Mayen Zard tries to restore these beautiful dances by rearranging and re-choreographing these styles. 6. Bafraw- Another new dance styles performed by Mayen Zard. 7. Haw-Shari- The original choreography of this style is pretty much the one of famous "Dagheh" style in Mehabad region (and also Soleymanieh in Iraq). In Haw-shari the moves are more rhythmic and quicker. Mayn Zard performs a modified and rearranged form of this dance.See more at www.maynzard.com www.facebook.com/maynzard
