Slovácko Verbuňk - Introduction

Slovácko Verbuňk belongs to male saltation dances. It is an impromptu dance, which is not bound by exact choreography rules. A pre-show consisting of a dance song is an indispansable part of it. The dance can be encountered in the southeast part of Moravia - in the ethnographic area of Slovácko (sometime translated as Moravian Slovakia) Depending on some speicific local features, it can appear in sever regional subtypes. Verbuňk is a part of natural dancing occasions (such as feasts or balls), but it exists in a stage form as well.
