Revised editing version. The music now matches the video. The video shows a stage version of the old Kabardian noble dance "Uerk kafe" performed by the state academic dance ensemble "Kabardinka". At first glance, the dance seems simple. The audience accustomed to representing the Caucasus as a Lezginka, most likely, will not even understand what they see. No wonder). Uerk kafe is a dance of the Kabardian (Circassian) aristocracy. This class of people was limited by strict protocol and codes, which naturally manifested itself in the dance. Aristocrats were forbidden to show emotions, freedom of movement, turn their backs to their partner, touch, and much more. Despite the above, the main adornment of the aristocrats was modesty and dignity. This made the Circassian dances so beautiful, and the Circassians themselves known throughout the world.
