vyvrátily

Vyvrátily, also known as vyvratilec, are a type of traditional Czech folk dance that originated in the 19th century. The dance is characterized by its lively and energetic movements, often performed in a circle or line formation. The term "vyvrátily" translates to "turning out" or "turning away," reflecting the dance's dynamic and often abrupt changes in direction.

The dance typically involves a series of quick steps, jumps, and turns, accompanied by traditional Czech folk music. The movements are often synchronized, with dancers moving in unison to create a cohesive and visually striking performance. Vyvrátily are often performed during folk festivals, weddings, and other social gatherings, serving as a means of cultural expression and community bonding.

The dance has evolved over time, with variations and adaptations emerging in different regions of the Czech Republic. Despite these changes, the core elements of vyvrátily—its energetic movements, circular formations, and traditional music—remain consistent. Today, vyvrátily continue to be an important part of Czech cultural heritage, celebrated and performed by both professional and amateur dancers alike.
