Calusarii

My entry to monomad Contest hosted by @monochromes.

Căluşul is one of the most valuable traditional dance of Romania.

Călușarii were the members of a Romanian fraternal secret society who practiced a ritual acrobatic dance known as the căluș. According to the Romanian historian Mircea Eliade, the Călușari were known for "their ability to create the impression of flying in the air"which he believed represented both the galloping of a horse and the dancing of the fairies.

Dancers wear white trousers and white tunics, with brightly coloured ribbons streaming from their hats. Bells are attached to their ankles, and dances include the use of ornate sticks held upright whilst dancing, or pointing at the ground as a prop.

I took these photos during a folk festival hosted by Targoviste.
