Two notes to greg stephens,that's right,in most folk-cultures there's something similar to broom dance.For example in Hungary is a folk-dance gone by swineherds with sticks.It's a male's dance,without women. The second note: Miklos Menis was originated from Friulian and Hungarian.(Friulian is a different people, a minority with its own cultural and historical identity,even its own language,living in region of Italy, Friuli-Venezia-Giulia.)
