THE WINDMILL
THERE ARE MANY FOLKLORIC DANCES IN LITHUANIA. EACH ONE HAS
ITS OWN KIND OF MEANING. TL[ THE WINDMILL
THIS IS A DANCE CONSISTING OF EIGHT COUPLES. BASICALLY, THE
MOTIONS OF THE DANCE ARE THOSE OF A WINDMILL.
AT FIRST, EACH COUPLE SEPARATELY IMITATES THE MOTIONS OF
SIFTING THE GRAIN INTO THE MACHINES. THE MIDDLE SYMBOLIZES HOW
THE FLOUR IS MADE, WITH THE DANCE ENDING IN THE COUPLES
GOING AROUND IN A VERY FAST CIRCLE, JUST LIKE THE WHEEL OF
THE WINDMILL.
