Czardas



Czardas or Csárdás (Hungarian language ''csárdás'', from ''csárda'', a tavern, beer house) is a traditional Hungary folk dance. It is of Magyar and Roma (people) origin. A more correct spelling of consonants (that would match native sounds) would be ''Chardash''. Csárdás is characterized by a variation in tempo: it starts out slowly (''lassú'') and ends in a very fast tempo (''friss''). The music is in 2/4 or 4/4 time signature. The dancers are both male and female, with the women dressed in traditional wide skirts, usually colored red, which form a distinctive shape when they whirl. Classical artists who have used csárdás themes in their work have included Franz Liszt, Johannes Brahms, Johann Strauss, Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky and others. ==External links== * [http://www.streetswing.com/histmain/z3czardas.htm StreetSwing's Dance History Archives: Czardas or Csárdás] * http://magomaev.ru/audio/Magomaev-Czardas.mp3 Hungarian music European folk dances
