Legényes

A legényes (in Hungarian) or feciorească (in Romanian) is a men's solo dance done by Transylvanian people (in Hungarian ethnic) living in the Kalotaszeg/Ţara Călatei, Szilágyság/Sălaj and Mezőség/Câmpia Transilvaniei regions of Transylvania, roughly the region around Cluj.[1] Although usually danced by young men, it can be also danced by older men. The dance is performed freestyle usually by one dancer at a time in front of the band. Women participate in the dance by standing in lines to the side and sing/shout verses while the men dance. Each lad does a number of points (dance phrases) typically 4 to 8 without repetition. Each point consists of 4 parts, each lasting 4 counts. The first part is usually the same for everyone (there are only a few variations).

gollark: Are you still going for the ridiculous "I'll buy all my parts over 3 years" thing?
gollark: ```🚨 /home/osmarks/Programming/skynet/node_modules/cbor/lib/map.js: unknown Statement of type "ForOfStatement"```
gollark: I'm trying to get the CBOR library skynet uses to run, but due to the stupidity of all JS tooling the compiler just outputs a ridiculous error.
gollark: Parcel is a nice zero-configuration bundler, except the zero-configuration approach and the fragility of the JS ecosystem means it just broke for no reason.
gollark: Ugh, I'll just use webpack and make myself suffer probably more.
