Romania possesses a rich and complex thesaurusof folklore. Romanian folk dances, well knownthrough their beauty and great diversity, are part of
this thesaurus together with folk songs, anecdotes,legends and poetry; they appear in a great varietyof regional forms, and are known under the name ofhoras or dances
Any "dance" is a combination of elements:formation, regional style; motifs, musical rhythm,choreography and the social occasion. A change inone or more of these elements can give anotherdance, sometimes too subtle for a visitor to
understand Many Romanian dances are accompanied by loud
shouts and calls known as Strigturiwhich arecalled rhythmically, but often across the musicalmelody and rhythm

and held slightly forward. The formation is a closed circle,
apart from in some parts of Banat and north Oltenia where
it is danced in an open circle with a leader who can take
the dance into a spiral. Mostly these dances progress to
the right, often with a diagonal forward and back path.

The Cluritual features a series of
games, skits, songs and dances, and was
enacted by all-male Cluaridancers to
the accompaniment of two violins and an
accordion. Young men used to be initiatedinto the ritual by a vataf (master) who had
inherited the knowledge of descntece
(magic charms) and the dance steps from
his predecessor. Groups of Cluari
dancers, sporting colourful hats,
embroidered shirts and trousers adornedwith small jingling bells, perform complex
dances, which combine stamping, clicking
of the heels, leaping and swinging of the
legs.
