Folklore

Serbian Folk Dancing is an old traditional Serbian culture. Folklore is a general name for an art passed from one generation to another since ancient times, depicts spiritual and cultural heritage of Serbia. Serbia has traditional clothing which is worn when dancing Serbian folklore. Typical form of Serbian folk dances is “kolo”, the circle dance is performed amongst groups of people (usually several dozen) holding each other's hands or having their hands around each other's waists (ideally in a circle, hence the name). There is almost no movement above the waist. The basic steps are easy to learn, but experienced dancers dance ‘kolo’ with great virtuosity due to different ornamental elements they add, such as syncopated steps. Both men and women dance together, however some dances require only men to dance and some dances are only for women.

The traditional dress of Serbia was mostly made of woolen fabric, while some were used to prepare with Linen and Silk. Serbian folk dance differs from the music. An interesting fact about Serbian folk dancing is that every folk dance is various to the music, rhythm and how you are going to perform it.
