625.Muiñeira / Spain - Muiñeira is traditional dance typical to Galego, Spain. It is distinguished mainly by the tempo of 6/8, played expressive and lively, although some variants are performed in other time signatures. There are also types of muiñeira that remain in the tempo of 6/8 but they displace the accent in different ways. Muiñeira is associated with traditional choreographic schemes and it is subject to highly varied interpretation in differing local traditions. It has playful character with a social component, expressing historic social culture of gallantry. It is somewhat more permissive of improvisation than other folk dances, improvised in sufi seráns and fiestas, and exhibitions. It is played at a fast tempo. Dancers often form a circle or parallel threes. Often jumps are incorporated, synchronised with percussion accompaniment.
