Shalakho ( ) is a folk dance performed throughout all of the Caucasus. It's distinguished by its time signature and fast-paced, upbeat style.
==Name== ===Armenian sources=== Per Karine Hayrapetyan, from Pan-Armenian International Academy of Sciences the name Shalakho () derives from Shalakhoi () with the y-semi-vowel falling. She further argues, that the name is related to the Armenian totems and the Shirak Plain. Additionally, she draws a parallel between the name and the word shalax ().
