If you have ever seen the people in Mehkereki dance (especially in person), I don't think you would appreciate this, as this seems artificial, stiff, and has nothing to with the true and "enthusiastic" Mehkereki clapping dance.
Nice choreography: a good range of sound texture in the slapping, nice variation in stage position and facing, solos vs group work. Having learned this dance, I can attest that it's very difficult to get the clapping, slapping and heel-clicks to be loud and what the Hungarians term "pontos", meaning highly regular accurate as far as timing. These guys manage very nicely, and maintain their alignment and posture while doing so.
While not criticizing the skill of the dancers, that choreography is a bit overdone. I was never a fan of choreographies that are over choreographed. But to each his own. I wonder where the performers are from?
yes ... i agree ... would be even more awesome with music ... their performance is pretty good ...

Azért magyarországi mivolta ellenére a Méhkerékit nem nevezném magyar táncnak.
Azért nem rossz, na, ügyesek a fiúk.

Despite its Hungarian origin, I wouldn't call Mehkereki a Hungarian dance.
But it is not bad, the guys are talented.
