Product Information
"Kolo is performed among group of people holding each other's hands or having their hands around each other's waists (ideally in a circle). The basic steps are easy to
learn, but experienced dancers dance kolo with great virtuosity due to different ornamental elements they add.
Best known traditional Serbian folk dance from Western Bosnia is "Glamocko Gluvo (nemo) kolo". Translation in
English would be deaf (silent) kolo dance from Glamoc. This dance is performed without music.
Glamocko Gluvo kolo is added on UNESCO list in 1982 year.
There is a story that this dance is from times when Ottomans banned musical instruments to Serbs.
There is one more funny story that a girl couldn't marry if she is not able to dance Gluvo kolo for long enough
therefore girls would try to stay in kolo for as much as possible to show their strength."
