Bukhara dance, unlike other areas, has a very complex multi-faceted structure. His repertoire is divided into large separate parts, which in Bukhara called "Paita". From the outset, the ability to control the body of dancers required hard work and constant striving for excellence. To earn the title of master in this art and to reach certain heights was pretty easy.
Bukhara dancers were preparing a replacement, teaching all the details and secrets of young dance students. And when they reach a certain level of knowledge and skills, then master them tied belt and gave doira or Zang. From that moment a student can independently engage in the art of dance. In gratitude, the young dancers portrayed the masters of the full set of clothes.
