Luri dances

While the dance is accompanied by drum and karnâ (a horn music instrument), the defender is only allowed to escape the strike by leaping up in the air.

[9] The dancers are surrounded by female and male enthusiastic audiences whom cheer the winners by screams and whistles.

In Luri dialects, mass dance styles that are mainly based on leg movements are said Čupi (چووپی, Choupi).

Mixed male and female dancers hold hands to form rings, hearing the vibrant musics by musicians, they perform different styles of čupi.

The leader performer (Sarčupi or Čupikeš) is a skillful dancer whose duty is to lead others and warm up them in accordance with dance music rhythms.

[10][11] Sangin-samâ (also Sangin-sepâ or Samâ) is usually the first phase of Čupi mass dance style and includes gentle and slow movements.

It seems that each of the gestures and dance components of Sama, has a philosophy retrieved from thousands years of coexistence with humane and natural elements behind it.

[12] In Čupi dance continuum, the second phase is Sepâ (three steps) which is performed faster and more dynamic than Sangin-Samâ in accordance with speeding up the music rhythm.
