Folk dance

The result of co-existence of several stylistic levels, belonging to various epochs, the dances cover a wide range of genders, both musical and choreographic. Their picturesqueness lie in the syncretic nature - the dance is combined with music, poetry, costumes, gestures, ornaments. Dances can be classified into two large categories: entertaining and ritual. The most widely spread are: SÓrba, Hora, S"lcioara, Purtata, SnvÓrtita, Hategana, Fecioreasca, Arcanul, Ariciul, Chindia, Alunelul, Oltenasul.
