Ringturniiris

Ringturniiris is a traditional Estonian folk dance that originated in the 19th century. It is performed in a circle, with dancers holding hands and moving in a continuous, rhythmic pattern. The dance is characterized by its lively and energetic movements, which often include jumps, spins, and intricate footwork. Ringturniiris is typically performed by groups of men, although women may also participate in some variations of the dance.

The dance is often accompanied by traditional Estonian music, which is characterized by its use of folk instruments such as the kannel, a type of flute, and the viiul, a type of violin. The music is typically played in a lively, upbeat tempo, which helps to create the energetic atmosphere of the dance.

Ringturniiris is an important part of Estonian cultural heritage, and it is often performed at festivals, celebrations, and other social events. The dance is also taught in schools and dance studios throughout Estonia, helping to preserve and promote this important aspect of the country's cultural identity.
