Ušest “Kolo” - Balkan Folkdance Challenge Day 5

Today we're learning Ušest or the "kolo", a Serbian dance which is widely danced throughout the Balkans.

Song used: Kozarica Kolo by Zlatne Uste

Here's my Balkan Folkdance playlist on Spotify with plenty of kolos:

Excellent job, Hanna! I’m very proud of you! Takes me back to The Saratoga Club (populated by Serbs and other Yugoslavs. Back then it was OK to use the term “Yugoslavia“, etc.). Fantastic!

kolo does not mean 'dance' - word for dance is 'ples'. 'kolo' is specific kind of dance with folk music where people dance while holding each other and form a circle (kolo also means 'wheel' or a a circle, like in 'kolovrat')
