Normában

Normában is a traditional Hungarian folk dance that originated in the 19th century. It is characterized by its lively rhythm and energetic steps, making it a popular choice for social dancing and folk festivals. The dance is typically performed in pairs, with one partner leading and the other following, and it often incorporates elements of other Hungarian folk dances such as the csárdás and the krakó.

The name "normában" is derived from the Hungarian word "norma," which means "standard" or "norm." This reflects the dance's status as a standard or typical example of Hungarian folk dance, often taught and performed in schools and cultural centers across the country.

Normában is usually danced to music played on traditional Hungarian instruments such as the cimbalom, a type of hammered dulcimer, and the duda, a bagpipe. The dance is known for its complex footwork and intricate patterns, which require a high level of skill and practice to master.

Despite its traditional origins, normában has evolved over time to incorporate elements of other dance styles and musical genres. Today, it remains an important part of Hungarian cultural heritage and continues to be performed and enjoyed by dancers and music lovers alike.
