I'm going to a Balkan concert in March, thanks for teaching me what to do! 📯

[@balkanfolkdance]

YAYY! That is like my dream for this channel! You're going to have so much fun!

Interesting. I've always thought of the cross with the left as the "1", or the start of the cycle. The dance is polymetric with the music tho, so it doesn't really matter. As long as everyone is together.

[@balkanfolkdance]

True! Some people teach it that way too! My brain is stuck on it this way, though 😅

Great dance. I have 2 left feet but this made me feel like Cyd Charisse! Awesome music - I feel so energized. Better than Red Bull!!!

[@balkanfolkdance]

hahaha thank you!!!

This seems to be just a kolo really.

[@balkanfolkdance]

"kolo" means dance, but if you mean ušest then I would agree but I also think many of these dances kinda have the same steps just in different order - and the main difference is the music it's danced to & time signature.
