Elfizetéseken, also known as elfizetes, is a traditional Hungarian folk dance that originated in the 19th century. It is characterized by its lively and energetic rhythm, typically performed in pairs or groups. The dance is often accompanied by traditional Hungarian instruments such as the cimbalom and the duda.

The name "elfizetéseken" translates to "the ones who are getting married," reflecting the dance's association with weddings and celebrations. The dance is performed by couples, with the man and woman holding hands and moving in a synchronized manner. The steps are relatively simple, consisting of basic footwork and arm movements, but the dance requires a good deal of coordination and teamwork between the partners.

It is often performed as part of a larger dance routine, which may include other traditional Hungarian dances such as the csárdás and the lila. The dance is also performed in competitions and at cultural events, where it is judged based on its accuracy, coordination, and overall presentation.

In recent years, elfizetéseken has gained popularity outside of Hungary, as more people become interested in traditional Hungarian culture and dance. The dance has been incorporated into various forms of entertainment, including films, television shows, and musical productions. Despite its popularity, elfizetéseken remains a vital part of Hungarian cultural heritage, reflecting the country's rich history and traditions.
