The Odzemek (Slovak: Odzemok) is a Slovak solo traditional dance for men, which always has an improvised character. The dance starts out slow and gets faster as the dance goes on, and is traditionally danced in Slovakia and Moravian Wallachia. The name Odzemok comes from the words 'od zeme,' which means 'from the ground.'
