8. Brâul
 Brâul is a term used for types of men's
chain dances, although there are now
mixed and women's versions. The term is
applied to several different regional
families of dances that have little
choreographic similarity.

10.  The word Brâul comes from the Dacio-
Illyrian language group meaning belt.
Formations where the dancers hold their
neighbour's belts are common throughout
Bulgaria and east Serbia. Belt hold causes
the dancers to be connected more rigidly
than hand holds.

separated by a resting step, without progressing
