Asma kasma

Asma kasma

Asma Kasma (meaning "hanging cutting") is one of the oldest Azerbaijani dances which is current in marriage. Its name comes from music by the name of "Asma-Kasma" and they use this music when they escort the bride to the bridegrooms' home and women dance in the opposite of the bride. Its velocity is slow and a little exaggerative and full of jumps.
