Támáztást

Támáztást is a traditional Hungarian folk dance originating from the region of Transylvania. It is characterized by its lively tempo and intricate footwork, often performed by couples. The dance typically begins with a slow, stately promenade, followed by a series of faster, more energetic steps and turns.

The music accompanying Támáztást is usually played by a cimbalom, violin, and bass, creating a distinctive and vibrant sound. Costumes for Támáztást are often colorful and elaborate, with women wearing embroidered blouses and full skirts, and men sporting embroidered shirts and trousers. The dance is a significant part of Hungarian cultural heritage, preserved and performed at festivals and celebrations. Its origins are believed to be rooted in older peasant dances, evolving over centuries into the form seen today. Támáztást requires significant skill and coordination from its performers, reflecting a deep connection to tradition and community.
