píchání

Pichaní, also known as "piching" or "piching out," is a traditional Czech folk dance that originated in the region of Moravia. It is characterized by its lively and energetic rhythm, typically performed in pairs or groups. The dance is often accompanied by traditional Czech music, which includes instruments such as the accordion, violin, and fiddle.

The steps of pichaní are relatively simple, consisting mainly of walking and stepping movements. The dancers typically hold hands and move in a circular pattern, with one dancer leading and the other following. The dance is often performed in a counterclockwise direction, with the dancers facing each other at the beginning and end of each cycle.

Pichaní is a popular dance at folk festivals, weddings, and other social events in the Czech Republic. It is also taught in dance schools and is often performed by amateur and professional dancers alike. The dance has been recognized as an important part of Czech cultural heritage and is often used to promote Czech culture abroad.

In recent years, pichaní has gained international attention, with dancers from around the world learning and performing the dance. However, it remains an important part of Czech cultural identity and is often performed by Czech dancers at international folk dance competitions and festivals.
