Căluș is a traditional Romanian folk dance, often performed during festivals and celebrations. It is characterized by energetic movements, intricate footwork, and the use of colorful costumes. The dance is typically accompanied by live music, featuring instruments like the cimbalom and accordion. The Căluș dance is closely associated with the Călușari, a group of dancers who perform rituals to ensure health and prosperity. This cultural practice has deep roots in Romanian folklore and is recognized for its significance in preserving local traditions. In 2005, it was inscribed on the UNESCO list of Intangible Cultural Heritage.
