The title of this dance is the first line of the accompanying song, meaning “In the garden, in the
vegetable garden.” It is a traditional dance song that was published in 1955 in the book Dances and Games for Students and Working Class Youth by Lidiya Bogotkova. In this book she collected dances, songs and games based on folkloristic elements. The dance is a so-called parnaya perekhodnaya plyaska, literally a couple dance with ptr progression, or more simply: a mixer. This is an adaptation by Hennie Konings. It was first presented in Frankfurt, Germany, in 2010.

Presented by Radboud Koop in 2010. View pdf here.
