Felvevjévé

Felvevjévé is a traditional Hungarian folk dance that originated in the 19th century. It is a lively and energetic dance performed by couples, with the man leading and the woman following. The dance is characterized by its quick steps, intricate footwork, and the use of a partner's body for support. The name "felvevjévé" translates to "lifting the jé" in English, referring to the dance's signature move where the woman lifts her partner's leg over her head.

The dance is typically performed to folk music, with the rhythm and tempo varying depending on the region and the specific variation of the dance. Felvevjévé is often performed at folk festivals, weddings, and other social events, and is an important part of Hungarian cultural heritage. It is also a popular dance in international folk dance competitions, where it is often performed in a group setting with multiple couples.

The dance requires a good deal of physical fitness and coordination, as well as a strong sense of rhythm and timing. It is often taught in folk dance schools and workshops, and is an important part of the curriculum for many Hungarian dance students. Felvevjévé is also a popular dance for amateur dancers, who enjoy its challenge and the opportunity to connect with others through dance.
