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: That does sound quite inconvenient.
gollark: Are there not offsite backups of WE?
gollark: Also, the nginx configuration is incomprehensibly complex.
gollark: In theory osmarks.net itself can just be compiled anywhere and put on any static webserver. In practice it can't because people have come to rely on stuff I arbitrarily scp-ed into the webroot, so I have to back up that folder. And it relies on some dynamic-site logic like the comments.
gollark: In case of an osmarks.net server implosion, I can theoretically run the critical site logic on one of the spare osmarksnode™s.
