Romani (Gypsy) dance is a vibrant, expressive dance style rooted in the rich cultural traditions of the Romani people, whose history spans India, the Middle East, and Europe. Shaped by centuries of travel and cultural exchange, Romani dance reflects influences from Eastern European, Balkan, Middle Eastern, and Flamenco traditions. It is known for its powerful footwork, proud posture, dramatic arm movements, and the iconic use of large, swirling skirts that create a sense of freedom and fire. More than just steps, Romani dance is about emotion, storytelling, and spirit—it expresses joy, longing, resilience, and passion, inviting dancers to move boldly, connect deeply to the music, and dance with both strength and soul.
