“The best way to make other people know you is to show and share your culture”
- Aram Khachaturian

For centuries, our culture has been preserved as each generation proudly passes on our longstanding traditions while contributing a fresh and new perspective of their own.
A big part of ArmeniaFest is the entertainment program of the Groung Dance Ensemble. The members are from the St. Sarkis community, and through dance performances, you will see the pride and enthusiasm with which the performers represent the Armenian people and share their culture with all.

Groung Dance Ensemble
Upheld as one of the oldest components of our culture, Armenian dance is the embodiment of our peoples’ grace and strength. The Groung Dance Ensemble is eager to present to you a set of dances that represent the traditions of our ancestors and celebrate the vibrancy of our
generation.
