Hungarian folk dance

According to György Martin, a prominent folklore expert, Hungarian dances can be divided into two categories.

"[3] Elizabeth Charlotte Rearick wrote, "The peasant dance is not one which is set absolutely according to rule; the dancer constructs his steps according to his mood and ingenuity.

[8] It is a newer style of dance developed in the 18th and 19th centuries, and features Hungarian embroidered costumes and energetic music.

While two separated partners are doing their step with their backs turned on one another, another couple between them are spinning round in the ecstasies of reunion.

Figures danced during the Swift Csárdás include the lippentos-martogatos (crouching-dunking), turning in pairs, and playful alluring and releasing of the partner.
