väljaarmin

Väljaarmin is a traditional Estonian folk dance that is performed in pairs, with one dancer leading and the other following. The dance is characterized by its lively and energetic movements, which are often accompanied by traditional Estonian music. The name "väljaarmin" translates to "outdoor dance" in English, reflecting the dance's origins as a celebration of the harvest and the end of the growing season.

The dance typically involves a series of steps that are performed in a circular pattern, with the dancers moving in and out of each other's arms. The leader of the dance often takes on a more active role, guiding the follower through the steps and maintaining the rhythm of the music. The dance is often performed in a group setting, with multiple pairs of dancers moving together in a coordinated manner.

Väljaarmin is an important part of Estonian cultural heritage, and it is often performed at festivals, celebrations, and other social events. The dance is also taught in schools and dance studios throughout Estonia, helping to preserve and promote this traditional art form for future generations.
