Rikonstruktu is a term that originates from the Estonian language, where it refers to a type of traditional Estonian folk dance. The term itself is derived from the words "rikk" meaning "to dance" and "struktu" meaning "structure" or "formation." Rikonstruktu dances are characterized by their intricate footwork and synchronized movements, often performed in pairs or groups. These dances are an essential part of Estonian cultural heritage and are typically performed during festivals, celebrations, and social gatherings.

The origins of rikonsktru can be traced back to the 19th century, with roots in the traditional folk dances of Estonia. Over time, the dances evolved and were influenced by various cultural exchanges and migrations. Today, rikonsktru is recognized as a vital component of Estonian cultural identity and is celebrated through various performances and competitions.

Rikonstruktu dances are often accompanied by traditional Estonian music, which includes instruments such as the kannel, a type of flute, and the viiul, a stringed instrument. The music and dance are deeply intertwined, with the rhythm and melody of the music guiding the dancers' movements. This synergy between music and dance is a hallmark of rikonsktru and contributes to its enduring appeal.
