Jocul Moșilor (Romania)


From Maramureș, Romania. Presented by Sonia Dion and Cristian Florescu at The Lyrids Folk Dance Festival 2018. The dance name means “Old Man’s Dance”, but it’s part of a tradition where the dancers dress up like caricatures of old people or animals and pantomime dancing like old folks.
