Grindelés is a traditional Hungarian folk dance that originated in the 19th century. It is characterized by its lively and energetic rhythm, often performed in a circle or line formation. The dance is typically accompanied by a traditional Hungarian folk music ensemble, which includes instruments such as the cimbalom, accordion, and violin. Grindelés is often performed at social gatherings, festivals, and cultural events, and it has become an important part of Hungarian cultural heritage.
