🐐 Capra is the name of a traditional Romanian dance, performed around New Year. It’s executed by a young man with a goat mask and a sheepskin on his back. The ‘goat’ and his companions go from house to house, dancing at each door on New Year’s Eve. During the 19th century, Romanians believed goats could predict the year’s weather, and the Capra dance, considered a pagan dance, became a ritual to bring fertility. It has become a component of folklore culture.🐐 Video by marinart.online

Hora is a traditional Romanian and Moldovan folk dance where the dancers hold each other's hands and the circle spins, usually counterclockwise, as each participant follows a sequence of three steps forward and one step back. The dance is usually accompanied by musical instruments such as the cymbalom, accordion, violin, viola, double bass, saxophone, trumpet, or pan pipes. ❤️
