Kolo (dance)
Parent Category: Croatian national treasure Category: Croatian folk dance and songKolo (dance)
The circle dance (kolo) is one of the basic forms of Croatian folk dance. The circle dance is regarded as the oldest form of dance, and can be seen as an expression of community, especially in village life. Kolo is a collective folk dance, danced by Bosniaks, Croats and Serbs, in groups of people (usually several dozen, at the very least three) holding each other's having their hands around each other's waists (ideally in a circle, hence the name). There is almost no movement above the waist. The basic steps are easy to learn, but experienced dancers dance kolo with great virtuosity due to different ornamental elements they add, such as syncopated steps. Each region has at least one unique kolo; it is difficult to master the dance and even most experienced dancers cannot master all of them.

Lindjo
Parent Category: Croatian national treasure Category: Croatian folk dance and songLindjo (Linđo)
Linđo is the most popular dance of the Dubrovnik region, danced to the accompaniment of lijerica. The dance master plays sitting, with lijerica on his left knee, while stamping with his right foot, thus dictating rhythm to the dancers. They move in a circle around the dance master, who gives commands (in rhyme, humorous and often with double meaning).
