Jocuri populare tradiţionale: învârtita
Traditionelle Tänze – Învărtita

Summary/Abstract: Romanian traditional dances are well known for their beauty and variety, but also for the one corpus they design together with songs, traditions and old rituals. One of the most important traditional dances is Învârtita / the 'turning' dance, specific to the South and Centre Transylvania. Its basic form is at moderate tempo with turning as a couple, in alternate directions separated by a resting step, without progressing around the dance space, but there are variants at distinctly different tempi. Some of these variants are danced by the “Cindrelul-Junii Sibiului” Professional Folk Ensemble and are presented in this research paper.
