Braşoveanca is a couple dance with variations, some of which - including the one presented here - are mixers, where the dancers change partners. Mixers are very rare in the Romanian repertoire. This feature - changing partners - together with the melody, lead us to believe that this dance is an “adopted child” among Romanian dances. Nonetheless, if you are lucky enough to visit Braşov and get invited to a popular festivity, the residents will ask you to join in their typical dances, and Braşoveanca is sure to be one of them.
