The story

Khorezm Dance Festival in Urgench/Khiva

This listing for a Khorezm Dance Festival spanning Urgench and Khiva very likely describes the same underlying tradition, and possibly the same event lineage, as the confirmed Lazgi International Dance Festival held in Khiva, which grew out of an earlier Khiva dance gathering called Raqs Sehri, documented in 2016 and 2019.

Research into this listing turned up strong evidence that a Khorezm Dance Festival spanning Urgench and Khiva overlaps substantially with, and may simply be an earlier or alternate name for, the confirmed Lazgi International Dance Festival documented elsewhere in this dataset.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

Lazgi is the region's defining folk dance, native to Khorezm and inscribed by UNESCO as Intangible Cultural Heritage in 2019, and Khiva has hosted more than one dance-focused public event celebrating it, including the earlier Raqs Sehri, or Magic of Dance, festival and the more recently formalized biennial Lazgi International Dance Festival running since 2022

02

The mystery stays covered

Given that both a Khorezm Dance Festival and a Lazgi International Dance Festival would center on the identical dance tradition in the same historic city, they most plausibly represent the same festival lineage under different names rather than two independent, separately dated events
