kinnipakkimisel

Kinnipakkimisel, also known as "kinnipidamine" or "kinnipõlemine" in Estonian, is a traditional Estonian folk dance that originated in the 19th century. The dance is characterized by its dynamic and energetic movements, which are often accompanied by lively music.

Kinnipakkimisel is often performed at social events, such as weddings, festivals, and celebrations. It is also a popular dance in Estonian folk music and dance competitions. The dance has been passed down through generations and continues to be an important part of Estonian cultural heritage. Its energetic and dynamic movements make it a favorite among both performers and spectators.
