'''Lovzar''' (''fun'' in [[Chechen language]]) is a Chechen children's dance ensemble that has conducted worldwide tours and has been an important face of Chechen culture to the world.

Founded in 1983 in the Republican Pioneers Palace in [[Grozny]], Lovzar disbanded in 1994 due to the [[First Chechen War]], but in 1995 the heads of Lovzar recruited thirty boys and thirty girls to restart the group.  Based in exile in [[Nalchik]], [[Kabardino-Balkaria]], the newly assembled group trained in traditional [[Chechen dance]].  Subsequently, the group has been awarded numerous awards in many countries{{cn|date=August 2021}}; it is worth mentioning that the Chechen pop singer and noted beauty [[Makka Sagaipova]] is a member of this group.
