üllenduste

Üllenduste, also known as "ullenduste" in Estonian, is a traditional Estonian folk dance that originated in the 19th century. It is performed by a group of dancers, usually consisting of four to six people, and is characterized by its lively and energetic movements. The dance is typically performed in a circle or a line, with the dancers moving in a synchronized manner.

The name "üllenduste" comes from the Estonian word "üllendama," which means "to jump up and down." The dance is often accompanied by traditional Estonian music, such as the kannel, a type of flute, or the viiul, a type of violin. The music is typically played in a fast tempo, which helps to keep the dancers moving in a lively and energetic manner.

Üllenduste is often performed at traditional Estonian folk festivals, such as the Jõulud, a winter festival that is celebrated in December. The dance is also performed at other cultural events, such as weddings and other social gatherings. It is an important part of Estonian cultural heritage and is often seen as a symbol of Estonian national identity.
