Our Story

Georgian folk dance dates back to the 2nd millennium B.C., with evidence found in Trialeti. It included mass folk dances and couple dances related to fertility rites. The theatrical performance "Sakhioba" played a crucial role in developing these dances.

In the III Century A.D., the royal national performance of Georgia emerged, integrating music, choreography, theater, singing, and circus elements based on Georgian folklore. This tradition evolved over the centuries, leading to distinct choreographic and theatrical performances.

Georgian Dance: Foundation of National Ballet

The "Royal National Ballet" is a unique cultural phenomenon associated with politically and economically strong regions. It aims to merge elite and mass culture, fantasy and rationalism, and traditional and modern art forms, including painting, music, and classic choreography. Known for its innovative approach, scale, and professional level, the Royal National Ballet of Georgia is a large-scale dance company involving hundreds of performers from various regions of Georgia.

Specifications

The idea to establish the Royal National Ballet of Georgia was conceived by Gela Potskhishvili, a distinguished dancer and Knight of the Georgian Order of Honors, and Maia Kiknadze, a renowned dancer-choreographer. They envisioned this project to revive and celebrate a significant part of the nation's cultural history.

In the early 21st century, Georgia sought to reclaim its historical image on the global stage. As an independent country with a rich cultural heritage, having a royal national ballet was seen as essential.
