THE ŠOKCI DANCES FROM BAČ AND PLAVNA

Choreography: Dragomir Vuković
Music: Krešimir Magdić

 

This choreography includes a mix of dances during which various scenic images are vividly and quickly exchanged. The lyrics of the songs in which women and men outwit each other are humorous. The text is also accompanied by body movements, so in the first part of the dance, plowing with oxen is imitated, and later the wearing of shoes is evoked with small dance steps. The peculiarity of this dance is the quivering of the young women's bodies, and richly decorated costumes in vivid colors contribute to the general impression of playfulness.
