Kolomeyka is a Ukrainian folk dance especially popular in the southwestern part of Ukraine. It originated in the East Galician town of Kolomyia (Hutsulshchyna). It was historically popular among Poles and Ukrainians. Kolomyjkas are still danced in Ukraine, as a tradition on certain holidays, during festivities, or simply for fun. In Ukraine's rural west, they are popular dances for weddings. In North America, the kolomyjka is primarily a social dance. Participants form a circle, joining hands. The dance begins with the participants turning the circle, usually counter clockwise, then clockwise. Further into the dance, soloists will perform in the centre of the circle.
