Chas Finster is listening to this more than he should be

[@amnbvcxz8650]

This is the most fun goofy folk dance ive seen 😅 among the different folk dances ive seen this one is the best for bringing people together and to laugh

[@witchofthewildwood1111]

I think the thing about these dances is that they're meant to be silly and stupid and make people laugh because in the harshness of life way back when laughter was important for healing bringing people together. Dancing together especially creates good relationships among the townsfolk

[@witchofthewildwood1111]

@Helēna Brodere As a Latvian myself, who has attended the song and dance festivals, who has worn the traditional dress, and who has a vainagi sitting across from me right now, I know how much time goes into these dances ;)
But that doesnt stop me from thinking they can look silly, and I dont mean that in an offensive way, but a joyous way because we knew how to let loose and understood that everything didn't have to be so serious all the time.

[@rsinclair689]

I don't think they look silly at all, I find it rather beúatifúl ..find the Latvian culture fascinating. Such beautiful people, would love to visit and immerse myself in their lovely culture someday..,

Exactly why I came here

[@jeffreyhutton1963]

Same here, grew up on that show when I was a kid in the 90s

[@MeganKoumori]

Anyone else picturing Chaz listening to his CD and doing high kicks around the living room?

[@Sparky-ww5re]

Same here, never understood folk songs, although i used to watch rug rats as a kid in the 1990s

[@thetortoise4107]

Bag, this dance is swell.

[@AarmOZ84]

Chaz Finster is why I am here. 😣

[@hellothere6117]

This was such a nice dance! Sometimes I wish Lithuanian folk dance was as energetic and silly (in a good way) as this, though I still love my culture as well. Love ya Latvians though! Fun, beautiful dance :D

[@marvinthemaniac7698]

So this is what Chaz Finster's favorite CD sounded like.

[@edwardvonaderkas7893]

[@sara_s_]

Is this meant to be a silly fun dance? What's the meaning behind it?

[@Dana-ey2cz]

People love enjoy life and do fun stuff, you can't always be serious. It is indeed meant to be funny, not all Latvian dances are like this though, this is just one of the few ;)

[@user-wy8zu3oi5j]
