'''Tsyganochka''' ({{lang-ru|Цыганочка}}, "Gypsy Girl") is a Russian folk dance and music. Despite its name, it is not a dance of [[Russian Gypsies]], but rather a Russian folk tradition under the influence of gypsy music popular in Russia.<ref name=ashi>Широков А., [https://ale07.ru/music/notes/song/bayan/image/shirokov_mrnt.pdf '' Музыка русского народного танца'': Советский композитор, 1988, p. 10.</ref>
 
The music is in [[Minor scale|minor]] [[tonality]], unusual in Russian folk dance, in 4/4 [[time signature]]. The tempo is initially slow and then gradually speeds up. <ref name=ashi/> Due to this varying tempo, the dance is often called "Цыганочка с выходом" ("Tsyganochka with Entrance"): during the slow introduction the dancer walks into the dance area, showing off, but without complicated dance figures.
