Mom Bar - Armenian Wedding Dance

Touchstone Sacred Dance Library
Mom Bar Associations---Armenia Candle Wedding Tapes Found On---Camp 96 Origin---Armenia Choreographer---traditional Notes This dance, it is said, has often been done as the last dance at a wedding. After three days of wedding and dance, the people would dance Mom Bar. The leader of the dance would hold a candle. At the end of the dance the leader would blow out the candle. This signified the end of the wedding. I will at times use this dance upon such special occasions as a closing dance.
