In the early part of this century, many Romanian men left their villages to work abroad. During this period, in towns like Crihalma in southeastern Transylvania, the women had to take over the traditional social functions of the men. This custom carried over onto the dance floor, where women danced in a playful imitation of masculine style. As they dance, the women shout strigături, improvised folk poetry referring to love, romance, dancing and the fact that "there are no girls like the ones from Crihalma!"
