In her notes, Sunni Bloland states

Fagaras is a town in the western part of Judet Brasov. It is also the name give to a sub-zone of the larger folklore zone of South Transylvania. This dance belongs to the category of Carpathiann Briu diffused among the villages situated along the roads which shepherds took each year from the South Carpathians to the grazing grounds of the Danube meadows and Dobrogea. The simpler variants of the Carpathian Briu such as this one from Fagaras are done by both men and women, although I suspect this one leans heavily on the masculine side due to the high leaps and leg gestures called for in certain motifs.
