Lerigyelés

Lerigyelés, also known as "lerigyeling" or "lerigyelés" in Hungarian, is a traditional Hungarian folk dance that originated in the 19th century. It is performed by a group of dancers, typically consisting of two or more couples, and is characterized by its lively, energetic movements and intricate footwork. The dance is often accompanied by traditional Hungarian music, such as the csárdás or the keringő.

The lerigyelés is typically performed in a circle, with the dancers moving in and out of the circle, often in a counterclockwise direction. The dance is known for its complex footwork, which includes steps such as the "lerigyelés" step, a quick, circular movement of the foot, and the "keringő" step, a rapid, alternating movement of the feet. The dance also features a variety of turns and spins, as well as intricate hand movements.

The lerigyelés 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 other countries, particularly in those with significant Hungarian populations, such as Canada and the United States. The dance is typically taught in dance schools and is an important part of the curriculum for students studying Hungarian folk dance.
