Circassian Dance
NEVER FORGET 21 MAY 1864

Circassian horse-born warriors (шууей [shuwey], in Circassian; джигит [dzhigit], in Russian) have always been famous for their immaculate equestrian skills. Intrepid horsemen rode their mounts in all positions: upright or clinging to the horse's side, in simulation of battle manœuvres. They had the uncanny ability to crawl under the belly of the mount, at full gallop – a manœuvre called “schinibech'epsh” (шыныбэкIэпщ; Adigean) – to confound the enemy. They performed daredevil feats, picking up whips and other articles (schiwye'ebix; шыуеIебых; Adigean), and hitting eggs (jedich'eyewe; джэдыкIэеуэ) placed on the ground at breakneck speed. A special kind of trick riding, “shurelhes” (шурэлъэс; literally: mounting-dismounting), in which a horseman, at full tilt, leapt off and then back on his horse, was also part of their repertoire. In “nipzef'eh” (ныпзэфIэхь; literally: banner-snatching), an equestrian game that required considerable strength and high skill, a group of horsemen snatched away a flag from one another, the object of the game being to carry it away. In "pi'ezef'eh" (пыIэзэфIэхь), the snatched object is a Circassian cap (пыIэ; pi'e). There were many versions of this sport, which is still played to this day. Two special forms of dressage, “shiqafe” (шыкъафэ; literally: horse-dance) and “shighejegw” (шыгъэджэгу; literally: making the horse dance), were, and still are, crowd favourites.
War games were very popular in the 18th and 19th centuries. One game had a group of foot soldiers wielding long clubs and knouts forming a circle, with horsemen trying to breach the formation. It was a veritable demonstration of courage and technique. Despite the onrush of horses, generally no serious injuries resulted. This game usually blended with other festal rites, usually following upon a compact “wij” (ancient ritual circle dance) formation.
During the Russo-Circassian war, the Circassians showed incredible resistance against the Russians for over 100 years. One of the main reasons for this is horse warfare techniques. Boys used to travel with their guns from a young age, because they would have to defend their homeland with these guns in their future lives. There was no nation that could use the rifle and sword more effectively than the Circassians on horseback. We know that the famous Circassian resistance leader Tuguzhuko Kizbech defeated the 12,000 strong Russian army with 700 Circassian horsemen by the river Abin. Cossacks and Russians, who could not cope with the Circassians, began to use Circassian weapons and clothes.

Dance of the Anatolian Circassians or locally known as Sheshen is a very popular Circassian dance performed in every wedding and celebration ceremony. Its origin is not known clearly, but modern versions are inspired by Circassians living in Turkey. It has a moderate pace although there are some faster versions mixed with Lezginka in some regions.
Every couple performs the dance inside a wide circle surrounded by the crowd and guests. Couples take the floor one by one and show their skills to the community. The man needs to do his best to get the woman's attention and the crowd's appreciation. The other men in the circle encourage and support him during the dance with cheers and chants. Although there are some basic elements, custom improvisations are very important. Performers should not repeat other people's patterns and they have to be creative because individual compositions are seen as a signature for the person. Like all other Circassian dances, the dance duration depends on the woman and keeps going on until she decides to finish it. It's accepted a very rude behavior if the man leaves before the woman.
