The village of Dănceni is located 15 km from the capital of the Republic of Moldova, Chișinau, in the southwest direction.

The document lists various villages and estates across Moldova and Bucovina, emphasizing Ureche’s ownership of these lands.

However, this 75 m building was unfinished and now stands as a decaying concrete structure on the hill opposite Dănceni, near Ialoveni.

[4] In more recent years, the lake has regressed somewhat, especially during droughts or drier seasons, with the most northern part of it being taken over by many reeds, and tall grasses.

[20][21] These reeds were subject to arson in May 2024, as pelicans which usually stop to feed at the lake on their yearly migrations were proving difficult to the fishermen.

Most winters also see a cold wave in the form of a blizzard, usually from the east, that brings about a large snowfall which can last a long time.

Dănceni sees a lot of sun compared to Western European cities of this latitude, especially during the hotter months.

[32] At the highest elevations of Dănceni is the large forest that is popular with picnics and is home to a mini zoo called "Bârlogul Ursului".

[33] The composition of the Dănceni local council (11 councillors), elected on 5 November 2023,[34] is as follows: According to the 2014 census, the population of the town was 2406, which is a decrease compared to 2004, when 2796 inhabitants were recorded.

As with the rest of Moldova in the past two decades, Dănceni has seen mass emigration, contributing to the large population decrease.

In 2023, the Parliament of Moldova approved a law on referring to the national language as Romanian in all legislative texts and the constitution.
