thumb|"Gypsy dance", Fedor Solntsev, 1830 Tsyganochka (, "Gypsy Girl") is a Russian folk dance stylized under the Russian Roma tunes. The music is in minor tonality, unusual in Russian folk dance, in time signature.
In the common version called "Цыганочка с выходом" ("Tsyganochka with Entrance"), the tempo is initially slow and then gradually speeds up. During the slow introduction the dancer walks into the dance area, showing off, but without complicated dance figures and then gradually warms up.
