How to Dance the Armenian Kochari

June 2012 - COAF presents: Volodya and Zhenya, along with the Sasun Dance Group from the village of Lernagog, teach you how to dance one version of the Armenian Kochari dance.

The Sasun Dance Group is just one of the many initiatives that COAF has implemented to help enrich children in the villages of the Armavir Region with extracurricular activities, sports, and the arts. COAF aims to provide students with opportunities to experience alternative ways of learning and to develop personal interests and talents in an informal environment. We also recognize the importance of sports and the arts and seek to enrich students outside of traditional academics whenever possible.
