Traditional Estonian Folk Dances
Jämaja Labajalg (Jämaja Flatfoot)
From Saaremaa, in the town of Jämaja. One of the oldest (1900) and most
distinctually Estonian couples dances; said to have been danced by the
“Jämaja” manor blacksmith. It is a flat footed, non-bouncing waltz step in
which the dancer never rises on the toes.
Kanga kudumine (ehk Kanga koomine)
Old Swedish dance made into a Latvian dance by H. Suna. In the mid- 1900’s
this dance was refined by Kristjan Torop.
Kivikasukas (Stone Jacket)
From Kiiu-Ablalt, near Loksa. This dance developed in the late 1700’s. The
story behind the dance was that a man who had done wrong to his master was
to beaten. To make the beating less painful, the man put a sheepskin under
his shirt before the beating. When the man did not flinch during the
beating, the one who was doing the beating was said to say, “What tricks do
you have up your sleeve, do you have on a jacket made of stone?” Later, at
the inn, the man bragged to his friends about he fooled the master. his
friends, full of ale, then began to act out the scene of the stone jacket
beating. This dance was danced later in a circle by old men, very clumsily,
as to accentuate the beating.
Kosjatants (Wooing Dance)
Dance arranged by Ullo Toomi in 1948 in Tallinn to depict a proposal of
marriage. Music was arranged by H. Korvits. It is dance full of youthful
movements taken from older dances: Vana voortants (Old circle dance),
Mustjala korge (Mustjala High), Viru valss (Waltz from town of Viru), and
Jamaja labajalg (Flatfooted waltz from town of Jamaja).
Sabatants
Setumaa (near Loksa). One of the songs the Setu people sang in the old days
was called “Kirmaske laulu”. The author of the song has made a note at the
end of the music to say that as the girls are singing this song, they should
stand one behind the other like geese (hannad) in a row and dance while
singing. The dance was later called “Hannatants (Sabatants).
Targa Rehealune
This is a dance is from Muhu and is danced only by women. It has slow moving
steps with bending up and down as if praying while moving in a circle. The
women mutter two words “iidamta, aadamta” in a seemingly purposeless fashion
It is speculated that it was a time when the men could have been away at war
or if many had died in battle.
