It is today performed by Armenians, Assyrians, Azerbaijanis (in the regions of Sharur, Nakhchivan and parts of Iranian Azerbaijan),[2][3] and Greeks.

There are many versions of Tamzara, with slightly different music and steps, coming from the various regions and old villages in the Armenian Highlands.

The women dancing used to dress luxuriously and adorn themselves with golden accessories, including rings, ear-rings, bracelets, chains and others.

In 2018, Azerbaijani-style Tamzara, along with Yalli and Kochari, was inscribed into the UNESCO List of Intangible Cultural Heritage in need of urgent safeguarding.

Tamzara is one of the most popular Armenian folk dances to have been preserved in the United States by the Armenian-American community.
