Thread Name: origins of broom dancing
Subject: RE: origins of broom dancing
I've seen a broom dance done by the Csango Hungarian minority in Moldavia - seemed to be mainly for children. The broom was used as a sort of partner in a kind of musical-chairs routine. It's taught by revivalists in Hungary, like Tamas Tundik and Lehel Foldi (both of whom speak English and are reachable via the web).
