Preserving and promoting the Armenian culture for 35 years…
A steadfastness of spirit,
an everlasting love for heritage,
an inspiring expression of culture.
As part of its rich culture, Armenian folk dancing is a reflection of the life and legacy of the Armenian people. Each dance symbolizes the livelihood, the aspirations, the legends, the celebration of life, and the appreciation of beauty. The company takes its name from the famous 18th century troubadour, Sayat Nova, whose beautiful music and poetry captures the essence of the Armenian soul and spirit.
“Nothing moves me more than performing for a non-Armenian audience, sharing our unique and rich culture with people, and having them understand why we are so proud of who we are.”
— Apo Ashjian, Founder/Director
“Sayat Nova gives our community a sense of unity and strength. It allows Armenians to feel connected to their culture through
the art of dance.”
— Katarena, dancer since 2017
