Anthropological Fieldwork in Romania

 
My fieldwork took place in a small region of northern Transylvania known for the preservation of its rich traditions of music and dance.

 
 
 
Dancing was a favorite pastime for young people of the village on Sunday afternoons after church.

 
 
 
They might join in the dance just to have a good time, or they might use the occasion to check out potential marriage partners.
