knäppljud
Knäppljud, also known as "knäpp" or "knäppning," refers to a traditional Swedish folk dance that originated in the 19th century. The term *knäppljud* literally translates to "clicking sound," which comes from the distinctive clicking of the heels and toes of the dancers' shoes as they perform the dance. This rhythmic footwork is a defining characteristic of the style.
The dance is typically performed in a line or circle, with participants holding hands or linking arms.
The dance itself involves a series of quick, precise steps, including stomping, clicking, and shuffling movements.
Today, knäppljud is celebrated as a symbol of Swedish heritage and is often performed at folk festivals,
