Different European Folk Dances 

And the Balkan countries are all about dancing in a line holding hands.

Spain is diferent (dances for rituals or fest) and in the West the germanic people are so boring dances

@@chinchanchou I don't think so. Our best known dance is one that shows people looking like they're sad and/or angry, while all central and eastern dances seem happy and many are really difficult to dance. Thank you Top Lista for showing 'jota', which is the real national dance (you can find their own in all the regions of Spain), as well as 'muñeira', and flamenco too, obviously.

@@lp2395 all dance are happy here the flamenco same depende the style much slavic dance doing people of ballet perfect move and highlight. in the real dance the town perhaps are diferent more slow and no perfect and germanic dances are depresing slow, less moves

A bit of that is selection bias I think plenty of very British folk dances ie English and Scottish ceilidh music

I see your point that's why I'm checking it out.

It's a lot of fun when you take part in them. It's great because you scream and it's super relaxing

It's sad ... but many people fell ashamed of their culture .... in my country it's dying ... dances, music styles, and other languages/dialects that NO ONE can speak anymore.

@@mie3657 what language do you speak?

@@youcanthandlethetruth8873 No its mainly people from the BRITISH ANGLOPHONE colonies (and for a good reason!!). Its because England has a young, transient and transplanted history and culture. Its basically a heavily watered down poor man's version of Celtic, French and Scandinavian culture. Everyone knows Irish have culture, French have culture, Spanish have culture, Italians have culture...but outside of scones and tea the English culture is kinda intangible or recognizable.

Yes but no. No matter who is dancing, the dances are inherently different

According to my own experience. All Slavic dances shown here are also original folk dances, the difference is in performance! I'll tell you what a huge difference it makes. It is important to understand that folklore is still alive in Slavic countries, in present, state visits are welcomed by people in folk costumes and treated with bread and salt. Songs, dances, traditions, costumes all this accompanies a person from birth. Folk music and dance also blend into modern music. Folklore in Slavic countries is not a resurrected corpse but living element. Example I will say, here in Slovakia, almost every small village/town has an amateur folklore ensemble, where people often grow up, spend their youth, adulthood, old age and excellently learn to perform folklore from their region - it is a joy but also a dressage since some dance elements are complicated. In larger cities, amateur ensembles then reach professional quality and create performances pleasing to the eye. For example, the amateur ensemble Lúčnica (which can be seen in the video) performed as the main program at UN in New York in 2017 or at the European Parliament. I note, that it is their hobby and not work. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-eIflZR_v47E.html&t ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-_xGe_QUkvUQ.html&t Another amateurs ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-cOBJBhbNlBk.html ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-wbFmluCa2Uo.html&t ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ELuDhEaF040.html ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-t0csRkgEUCU.html I recently saw videos from this year's Hello Schoten festival in Belgium, where folk dances from different countries were presented by folclore ensembles, among them Canada, Belgium, Netherland ... Honestly, even when young people danced, they did not differ in performance and technical difficulty from the dances in this video. Slovak "hobby" amateur ensemble FS Železiar ate them. Try enter in english to RU-vid - a Slovak/Slavic folk dance on street and a Western European professional folklore ensemble (except Ireland), then you will understand why the author made such a choice. :)

I'm a folk dancer from macedonia, and i do dance as a hobby for am hour 2 times a week and we learn complex choreographies

yeah eastern europeans shown may be professional dancers, but the dances are traditional (not made up), they were always that active and difficult

Not really. I was in amateur group and the dancing and music didn't change for us. We had to dance as fast as them. The difference was we die after one or two songs, but professionals can go for an hour nonstop. But karicka, polka or flaskovy, or odzemok rhythm and style stays the same no matter who dances it.

Passionate people have passionate dances.

You should see Goergian..

Bro they are made by dance companies, while the other Western ones are done in country fairs by elderly, how can one compare them

@@madlass3093easily. The dances are still different. We have non professional folk groups in many cities and villages and they dance the same dances. And as fast as professionals. Just with more breaks. The dancing style and rhythm is wastly different from the west in general.

@@vladjuryrigging i agree that what you say its true IN THIS PARTICULAR VIDEO. Alas the author chose snoozy Western dances (+ made by elders) vs lively Eastern dances. But there are soooo many more Western dances that are energetic and full of life, like Tarantella and all its variations (italy), CanCan (france), maypole dance (nordic countries)...the video doesnt do them justice imo

Compare Morris dance with Călușul (a ritual dance in Romania) : ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-1wuUc9SD2nw.html

Hi, I’m 21 and I Morris danced in school too. The dance isn’t dead yet!

In italy too, I'm italian and i danced so many time my traditional dance but never saw this one lol

Correct but a regional video would last hours..

ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-YOVXJCu_qMY.html

In Czech Republic too.. dances from Moravian Wallachia is tottaly different than dances from Bohemia.... dances from my region (wallachia) are more wild and faster, with cimbalon and violin live music...

And disadvantageously, pure hobby dancers were shown with professional (folk) show dancers. Even if the film recordings of performances by the professionals are obviously a few years old. The Slavic regions were known for their professional folk dancers. While in most other regions folk dancing remained a private pastime and club hobby. (Even if clubs often have performances and can appear professional, most of the costs are borne by the club members themselves, while the professional dancers can negotiate high fees for performances)

japanese people got their culture from China then killed millions of Chinese people the first chance you got. japanese people danced your traditional dance to celebrate the massacre of NanJing (NanKing).

No kidding! Gorgeous

Bugarian love their folk music. I recommend you listen to some Nikolina Chakardakova. Great singer Also, the name of the Bulgarian dance is horo

I've seen some dancers from Estonia perform at a festival near me, and they were incredible. They had wonderful live music and performed all the dances perfectly. They should've definitely been included here.

I will put Estonia when I have time to make part 2 of this

The imoression I got is that many western European countries dont hold festivals or theaters with their traditional folk dance. I hope Im wrong.

Same

Don't forget Latvia and Lithuania XD

Unfortunately in many Western European countries folk dancing is a dying tradition. I was in an amateur folk dance group in France for a few years and we used to give performances but had to stop as members got older and hardly any younger people want to join. It's the same for many dance groups across the region. However Scottish dancing is still going quite strong. I also danced with a Scottish folk dance club and it seems to be more attractive to younger people and they have annual competitions. You can find lots of videos on RU-vid.

ohh interesting, I studied dance science here in Switzerland, please give us insights about Japanese traditional dance on your channel🤩

There is value in maintaining traditional cultures and dances. For the individual performing them it is also a wonderful enriching and engrossing experience, in a way that dancing in a club can't match.

Yes🇧🇬❤️

As to me, both Serbian and Bulgarian as well as non represented Moldovan folk dances are obviously Turk-influenced ones having typical Turk dancing movements and accompanied by Turk-styled dancing music.

​@@user-rt3fb3ox5wYou don' t know nothing about Slavic people...and talks.....🤮😡

Lol

Balkan dances are like this probably due to Ottoman influence, I’d say.

Their whole culture is quite different 😅

@@Sara-gl2mg They do have influence of Ottoman.

​@@thailux6494not entirely. Let's say Serbia. Depending of region, dances developed according to different foreign influences. Dances and music from North of Serbia are more similar to Croatian dances, regions near Bulgaria took some of their influences and dances from South Eastern Serbia kept some of Turkish.the folklore dance from Vojvodina is different from the one from Vranje.

​​@@thailux6494 not really. If anything, Turkish dances recieved more influence from Greek ones. What you see in the Balkans in terms of folklore is mostly a mix of Greek, other indigenous (Thracian Illyrian), Slavic and some Turkish influence.

We have like a hundred or so, some fast some slow. We really like them and are really happy at how they turned out with folk songs too.

Just watch Georgian dances

@@stonerdoom6502 i love georgian folk dances

@@saarinenj1 Thanks!

And celtic dances( Bretons of France, Irish )

I think it's because 1. The choreography is gorgeous and suits the music perfectly, 2. The girl's skirts have so much movement, they're doing a dance themselves. And most importantly 3. The girl in the centre isn't just dancing, she's performing the dance, living it. Every movement feels like it's trying to grab the audience and to convey what a fairytale version of a slovakian girl is like. It makes you forget you're watching a video on youtube, like when you read a really good book and forget where you are

I'm perfectly aware I'm late, but here we go anyway. If you want, I have links for most of the Slavic dances alphabetically before Serbia which is a pain to track down. First dance for Poland is krakowiak. First dance for Czech Republic is polka/kreuzpolka combo. Second is positively Moravian but I can't name the exact dance. First Russian is something we call kozáček, kazachok should get you to where you need. Fourth Russian is a specific performance of the group Верёзка. It combines several dancing styles, kazachok for men and shortskirted women and a very specific type of dancing similar in leg technique to acharuli (Georgian) or Kazach dances for the long dress ladies. I'm going to risk it and say that one of the Hungarian dances might be czardas but that's just an extremely bold guess. I don't know the specific name for Bulgaria, but this is the video. I believe the name appears somewhere at the beginning: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ysLF7Ij-QiY.html England should be Morris dancing but not sure. For Ireland, just look up Irish dancing. It probably has a name in Irish, but you'll find more using English anyway, sadly. Scottish dance is ceilidh. Scottish Highland dancing in English. First for Ukraine looks like a form of kazachok too, but the dances are probably just related rather than outright identical. Third Spanish dance is flamingo, but pretty sure that one is obvious. Sorry if it's a bit messy. Edits: Slovak dance is karička.

Well the first ukraine one is called the hopak. It's roots come from I think Zaporizhia from the cossacks. The men would fight (the Tatars who wanted to sell them as slaves and the Polish people who they used to belong to as surfs til they ran away I believe?) and then afterwards they'd return to safety to practice/show off fighting moves, dance and party. All 3 of these things got mixed together and that's where most of the male hopak solos came from, not that they really showed any here. They're dance-ified versions of fighting moves. Originally it was an all-male dance but war after war after war throughout Ukraine's history left most of the men dead, so women filled in (according to someone who majored in dance choreography in ukraine, the most significant war for the hopak was WW2. That's when women most prominently started showing up in these dances). Now it's a co-ed dance with the women showing off their gracefulness and men showing off their acrobatics and pseudo-fighting skills. Take all this with a grain of salt: I'm a Ukrainian dancer from Canada and I don't think you can verify much of this info online unless you know Ukrainian. Or rather, the information is there but it's always right beside stuff that's contradictory or just obviously wrong. Everything I know is from word of mouth in a continent spanning game of telephone that's lasted centuries. Edit: dance #2 looks like a comedy dance. I wonder why they included it? There's much better examples of Ukrainian dance out there. I can't pin down where the costumes are from Edit: dance #3 looks like a dance from the central region of Ukraine. There wouldn't be a name for it other than what the choreographer thought of

​@@ZeLeninovoMasoveRizoto can you send me those links? I really really love slavic dancing

Dutch traditional dance is usually called klompendansen (clog dancing), I'm not sure what the different kinds are/if there are official/regional ones, but the main thing is that they tap out the rithm with the clogs and that it's usually danced in a big groep with men and women

Exactly...

plus ”Călușul”, ”Sârba”, ”Bătuta”, ”Învârtita”, ”Fecioreasca”, ”Berbuncul”.. : )

@@ionbrad6753 Sârba e 💯💯💯

Probably the Romanians could have more and diverse dances than all other countries here, they just showed only some one of most unimaginative one.

Interestingly, the last Romanian dance they showed is one I used to dance in France!

How about Flamenco? well I love the Tap Dance of Ireland too

@@jeksixten5751 “Tap” dance of Ireland?! 😁 I must be getting old. I remember anything danced in hard shoes being called the ‘hornpipe’. The heels and toes of the hard shoes were reinforced with hard leather and short cobbler’s nails. The soft shoes for reels and jigs were called ‘poms’.

actually I recently have seen a documentary about the Neolithical time, could be also much later, I am not sure about this, but there was a slave trade in this time, people settling in the today UK would buy people from Eastern part of today´s Europe and this is also how the word "slave" is connected to Slawic people. Every time I go to the Balkan, because I have roots there and also to the UK I am all the time amazed with how some things are very alike, especially also how you make borders on farming sites (stone walls, hedges and stuff) and not really very square but more organic, it is the same in Balkan whereas in Switzerland where I live, it is very sharp, square and regulated and controlled.

@@whereisplain There was no United Kingdom in Neolithic times. The first Anglo Saxons (aka the English) didn’t arrive in Britain until 449 AD and the Celts who pre-dated them and who settled all over Britain, didn’t arrive until 600 BC. We don’t know much about the Neolithic people apart from the fact that they built Stonehenge in 2,500 BC. The Slavs were taken as slaves by many people, particularly the Vikings and the Spanish Muslims. By now, their descendants are thoroughly mixed in with the populations of Scandinavia and Spain respectively. The Vikings were very fond of hauling away slaves from Britain. They also liked Irish women, whom they brought to Iceland to set up home there. The Irish themselves were also very fond of taking slaves from Roman Britain, including one particular national saint - Saint Patrick. Meanwhile, Muslims from the Ottoman Empire took slaves from Ireland _and_ as far north as Iceland. In fact, on 20 June 1631, Muslim slavers from the Barbary Coast hauled away the entire village of Baltimore in Cork, Ireland and sold them in the slave market in Istanbul. And there are written accounts by an Icelandic man whose village was sold in the slave market. He managed to make it home but he never saw his young son again. In the distant past the whole world was full of people enslaving or being enslaved … or both. In fact, the captain of the ship that enslaved Baltimore was himself a freed slave.

@@Clodaghbob that´s kind of facts here, thanks! :D I was just about to explain about the connection of the word slave and Slaw, and that I see a lot of other connections with these cultures now.I didn´t need your whole other explanations but fine, it´s just mansplaining :D

Good obeservation! Btw: Do u have more collective dancing (pairs/circules..) or single dancing? I think European dancing involded primary as a group fun and showing off athletic skills as well as coordination within the one group. They ar way more impressive in a group rather then individual (girl's skirts moving, coordination, etc.). Also, these ar folk, So peasant dances, nobility had more smoth/slower dances. But this was a society heavily concentrated around agriculture, so good fitness and coordination were important as well as unity among ppl. I heard it was said that how the high jump Is, the grain will be high. So ppl were trying to compete and jump as high possible. Then secondary it's a ritual of seduction between sexes, boys showing off their straight and girls elegance, etc. But primary fitness of everyone I think. I think the hunter societies dances (like native American and African) ar imitations of wild animals and they also have many fight dances with intimidating purpuse. East Asien dances seems like a calm religious ritual resembling some kind of meditation. Something I can imagine in a temple. Artistic masterpiece demanding a lot of cencentration. Middle Eastern dances ar simular to the European, with some seductive sexual female dancing.

I can say in general, Asian folk dances have much more hand movement. While European dances are mostly based on footwork.

The heat and humidity of the tropics would make vigorous dancing unpleasant.

@@Anastazka00 Indian dances have a totally different feel to them and are very unique for having detailed music, stories and a repertoire for the last 2000years.

I am Dutch but I reconized and felt kinship with the Belgian dances. I am not really in the dance scene so I was confused where I reconized it from. Than I realized, I reconized it from my cultural history lessons! (I do a art education degree so we go in more detail) It seems, unsurpisingly that big parts of similar dances where practiced in both modern day Belgian and the Netherlands in the middle ages❤

I agree. It would have been nice to have at least a few excerpts from actual "common folk" dancers from Russia or Ukraine. While it's surely great to see that those countries value their traditional dances so much that they can fill big stages, it would be a nice contrast to see some rural, old farmer's dance from the east european countries, too :) On the other hand: the video does not really rate the dances. It's just the people in the comment section comparing and rating, instead of just enjoing the fun ALL the dancers had and the effort everyone put into their performance.

I know I said it before, but it's seriously worth mentioning that the dancer performed by professionals actually exist as actual folk dances, namely karička and polka for Slovakia, polka for Czech Republic, krakowiak for Poland, kazachok for Ukraine and Russia, czardás for Hungary, huge amount of chorovody or kola for the entirety of eastern Europe ect. Those are all I could recognise, but they are what the rural people would've danced, just in big stage settings. Edit: just to add, Slovakia's first performance (overwhelmingly karička) also includes a literal children's game done with music. It's never as glorious as it seems.

It's good exercise.

In realtà nessuna è del nord, la prima non è nemmeno una danza folk ma medievale, la seconda è sarda. Comunque concordo che la musica del sud (e ci aggiungerei anche del centro) è molto più bella di quella del nord, quest'ultima molto più simile alle danze del centro europa, data l'influenza dell'Austria che c'è stata in passato.

High culture? People don't do these dances anymore because there is more exposure to the rest of the world now. European people chose other forms of music and dances instead of these ones in the video because it's their choice.
