övéazé

Övéazé is a traditional Hungarian folk dance that originated in the 19th century. It is a lively and energetic dance performed by couples, with the man leading and the woman following. The dance is characterized by its quick steps, intricate footwork, and the use of a traditional Hungarian instrument called the "dobro," which is a type of lute.

The name "övéazé" is derived from the Hungarian words "övé," meaning "around," and "azé," meaning "this," referring to the circular movement of the dance. The dance is typically performed in a group setting, with couples moving in a circular pattern around a central point.

Övéazé is often performed at social events, festivals, and cultural gatherings in Hungary. It is also a popular dance in Hungarian folk music and is often accompanied by traditional Hungarian songs. The dance requires a good level of physical fitness and coordination, as well as a strong sense of rhythm.

In recent years, övéazé has gained popularity outside of Hungary, with dance schools and cultural organizations around the world teaching and performing the dance. Despite its traditional roots, övéazé has evolved and adapted to modern times, with new choreographies and interpretations emerging.
