Pajdushko horo;[1]is afolk dancefrom Bulgaria[2]and North Macedonia. It features a 5-beatmeterdivided into "quick" (2-beat) and "slow" (3-beat) units, abbreviatedquick-slowor 2+3.time.Like many otherBalkanfolk dances, each region or village has its own version of the dance. It is traditionally a men's dance, but in modern times it is often performed in lines of both men and women.
It is aline dance,with the dancers in a line facing left, holding hands. The dance starts moving right with a series of four lift-steps, followed by moving left: crossing the right foot in front of the left, transferring the weight onto the right foot while moving the left foot to the right (this is the characteristic movement of this dance, and is done four times). The dancers next move backwards using a series of four lift-steps.[citation needed]
A number of variations can be seen among individual dancers. For example, instead of moving left with the right foot always crossing in front, a front and back pattern can be used, resulting in a basicgrapevinestep. When moving backwards, the lift steps can be replaced by scissor-steps, often ending with apas-de-basquestep.
A common version of this dance is Jambolsko Pajdushko oro (yahm-bohl-sko pie-doosh-ko).
The dance is known as the "Drunken Dance" (Macedonian:пијано оро) inMacedoniaand is believed to have been brought toTurkeyhundreds of years ago within the early stages of theOttomanrule of Macedonia. The Pajdusko is still danced by many within Turkey, especially Turks of Macedonian ancestry.
