Serbian Folk Dance

I heard this music playing while walking by Dundass Square in Toronto (on my last visit there). I thought it was Greek, like the folk dancing I used to do at first, but instead its Serbian. Enjoy...

[AleksFolk1]

you must be crazy???? I've just taught my version of this to my group and if you know your ethnographical regions you'll know that this dance comes from Serbia PROPER! Especially Cacak - there is no way EVER that will be an albanian dance hahaha - you can only dream!

@avginkel...Combination of Macedonian-Greek folklore doesn't exist...Macedonian-Vardarska banovina folklore is based on Slavic pagan folklore traditions, same as Serbian and Bulgarian...Western Thrace was part of Bulgaria, until 1919, when it became part of Northern Greece...There is big similarity between Macedonians-Vardarians, Serbians and Bulgarians...When people speak about typical Balkan folklore...It derives mostly from those regions.

@ktm066...Get lost from Serbian culture, disgusting piece of Albanian scum...Watch and suffer, couse, there is nothing else, that you can do around here...

@Hooligan7, its typical of Balkan folklore. Macedonian Greek folklore is n fact identical. Problem is, Grteeks still think they are different and better than others and don't want to hear that their northern folklore is like identical to that of former Yugoslavia or Bulgaria. Good posting though, thanks!

@ktm066 why can't you just enjoy a beautiful dance, wherever it is from?

[amarita100]

@ktm066 you cannot base your claims on myths or personal beliefs. FYI these are scientific facts:

albanians: I (the oldest european haplogroup) - 14%; R1a (the 'slavic' gene) - 9%; J (middle east/asia minor) - 21%; E1b1b - 27%

serbs: I - 41%; R1a - 15%; E1b1b - 20%; J - 7%

so much for the romantic nationalistic theory of the albanians being in the balkans the longest! for all you know, you may have more in common genetically with some serbs, than with some albanians ;)

@ktm066 grow up, man and stop swearing. it just shows your lack of culture. YOU are an insult to albanians.

[amarita100]

@PrishtinaHottieee yes, everyone is idiots apart from albanians. they are so very clever, their music and dance thousands of years old and the best, no one else in the neighbourhood has any history or cultural heritage apart from them...

you are such pathetic, arrogant people who have to belittle anything that is not albanian. you are just showing your narrow minded bigotry and lack of culture.

[amarita100]

@ktm066 oh please do grow up, otherwise you'll be consumed by hatred, and it won't do your soul any good. just because the albanians preserved a language does not prove their historic primacy. btw, serbs are also mostly of thracian/illyrian ancestry, with only a 15% slavic input.
