The simd (Ossetian: симд), is an Ossetian folk group dance. Time signature 4/4, 2/4. The beauty of Simd is in the strict graphic outline of the dance, the contrast between black and white costumes, the softness of movements, the strictness of line formations, and the harmony created by all of the above. The Simds name names the State song and dance ensemble of South Ossetia “Simd” named after B. A. Galayev.
