Hucuły

untitled

Hutsul dances are many. The most common is a circle dance called hucułką: a dozen or so people, holding his arms, moving in a strong momentum, accelerating the pace more and more, until the zawrotności. Sometimes the music is instantly plunged into a vortex, mixed into it dancers, sometimes gradually coming in. Men performing diversified steps, and dancing as they sit in squats close to the ground, jumping pike up, shouting, singing, firing guns. Inside the circle dancing sometimes loosely, one or more pairs. Sometimes, when the circle is moving mightily, but equally and monotonously as near rozmachowe, locked inside the circle dancers go crazy more and more.
