Gipsy dances can be also considered a part of the oriental dances. Gipsy culture and its hint may be observed in India as well as in Europe. Gipsy dances have always been inspired by the culture of the world, depending on where the gipsy folk were brought by its nomadic way of life. One feature is, however, permanent for all gipsy dances, and it is rampancy and the zest of life itself. The gipsy dances I perform are mainly about wildness and a fire burning in one’s heart.
Various types of gipsy dances:
The Gipsy dance with a tambourine
- The dance with a fan
- The Gipsy dance with a shawl or two scarves
- The Gipsy dance with bells
- Indian Gipsy dances of the snake conjurors tribes (Sapera, Karelyia)
- Turkish Gipsy dances in the 9/8 rhythm
- The dance performed on the ground
- Gipsy dances from Balkan
- Hungarian Gipsy dances
- Gipsy dances performed on the Spanish melodies
- A dancing improvisation on the life music
- A dancing improvisation on your own music
- The gipsy dancing for 1-6 dancers
- Dancing with people from the audience
- The Gipsy dancing training

Gipsy dances and Me
I was enchanted by the gipsy dances long time ago. Now I have been active in this field for more than 7 years, studying it both theoretically and practically. I principally specialise in the gipsy dances from Europe (Slovakia, Hungary) and Balkan, Turkey (dancing on the ground) and India. I try very hard to summon all my temperament, dynamics and sensuality while dancing, as these are the main and essential characteristics of a gipsy dance.
