Notes
The rhythm is in 2/4
Open Circle, no hand hold. arms raised out and loose or on hips,
or wherever youíd like them.
ìCiganyî means ìGypsyî
Most gypsy dance is solo improvisational, as is this dance which
here is presented with variations.
Laura Shannon says of the style that Hungarian Gypsies dance with
more restraint than in the southern Balkans. There would be no shoulder
shimmy, no hip embellishments. The carriage is upright, chest lifted, arms
on high and away from the body, pelvis tilted slightly forward. The rear
is slightly prominent from behind. Steps small, light on the ground.
Here the steps are embellished with finger-clicking---twice each
per measure.
