Romania–Cadaneasca

The Cadaneasca is a Romanian rhythm and accompanying dance that is among the substantial number of Romanian, Bulgarian and other Southeastern European dances that use ADDITIVE RHYTHMS — phrases thad add groups of beats together to make a rhythmic statement. When dancing, usually the count of 2 corresponds to a “quick” or “short” dance step, while 3 is “slow” or “long.” The variations within the phrases will inspire your body to sometimes glide, sometimes hop.
