BAR STRUCTURE OF BALKAN FOLK DANCES FORMS UDC: 793.31:796.012.35 (Professional paprer) Milan Stanimirović and Vladimir Mutavdžić University of Niš, Faculty of Sport and Physical Education, Niš, Serbia Abstract A review of previous research on the bar structure of Balkan folk dances, showed that it is evident that this large and very specific ethno-choreological area is characterized by its special characteristics. The aim of this research was oriented to the determination of the bar structure of the basic dancing forms of selected Balkan folk dances, as well as their individual variants. The research includes some of the most typical representatives of folk dances from Serbia, Bulgaria and Macedonia. We analyzed 21 folk dances with totally of 39 dancing forms. The descriptive method was used during the research, and the following, among the Serbian folk dances, were analyzed:1. Moravac 2/4; 2.Čačak 2/4; 3. Rumenka 2/4; 4. Trojanac 2/4; 5. Stara Vlaina 2/4; 6. Šokc 9/8+13/8; 7. Urzikuca 11/8 +7/8; 8. Bugarčica 7/8; 9. Polomka 2/4; 10. Igrale se delije 2/4; 11. Leskovačka četvorka 2/4 and 12. Žikino kolo 7/8. As for Bulgarian folk dances, the following were analyzed: 1. Pravo trakijsko horo 2/4; 2. Zagorska rčenica 7/8; 3. Ile, Ile 9/8; 4. Kopanica 11/16; 5. Jove malai mome 7/8 +11/16 and 6. Petrunino horo 12/8, and among the Macedonian dances: Pajduska 5/8; 2. Eleno mome 7/8 and Serbez Donka 7/8. The research results suggests that the number of bars within the basic dancing form of the analyzed folk dances range from three up to even sixteen. It can be noted that simple and complex bar structures of the folk dances are conditioned by their rhythmical composition, so that the simple bar leads to both simpler structure and dancing technique. Although there are more even structures, it is interesting to note that there are no special rules and patterns concerning presence of the odd and even bar structures. It can be seen that the number of bars in dancing forms of Balkan folk dances is very diverse, so that the bar structure present, beside three and four-part, can also be eight-, nine-, ten- and sixteen-part bar structure. Keywords: Serbian folk dances, Macedonian folk dances, Bulgarian folk dances, musical patterns, symmetric bar structure, asymmetric bar structure INTRODUCTION determination of the bar structures of the basic dancing Analysis of the bar structure of the basic dancing forms of selected Balkan folk dances, as well as their forms of Balkan folk dances and their certain variants certain variants. indicates, at least according to the results of the previous research, that basically there are great similarities in the METHODS existing schemes also, regardless of whether it concerns The research included some of the most typical the folk dances from Serbia, Bulgaria or Macedonia representatives of folk dances from Serbia, Bulgaria and (Ivančan, 1970; Kostić, 2000; Trajčević, 1987, Vaglarov, Macedonia.

Публикацията отразява само личните виждания на автора и от Комисията не може да бъде търсена отговорност за използването на съдържащата се в нея информация.” 2 3 Short Bulgarian History The oldest traces of human presence in our land are from Paleolithic Age –before 1.6 million years. Archaeological finds in the ―Kozarnika‖ cave, near the town of Belogradchik, testify to the life of the first inhabitants of southeastern Europe. With the emergence of agriculture (VII-VI millennium BC) in the valleys of Struma and Mesta rivers, the live of people here is transformed. Dwellings of stone and wood, permanent settlements and tribes appeared. The discovery of copper noted a peak in the agriculture in our land. Open in 1972, Varna treasure is evidence of advanced human relationships - property differentiation. In the III-II millennium BC, with the arrival of the nomadic tribes of the north and merging them with the local farmers, formed a large tribal community - the Thracians. Their culture is described by the ancient Greeks. The largest Thracian tribe- Odrysaeans, founded in V century BC their country, between the Maritsa River and Black Sea, led by king Teres. Thracians established a rich culture, although they have no script. Many lavish tombs in our lands reveal the sacraments of faith in the afterlife. Top of the art of the ancient Thracian is tomb of Kazanlak . 4 Since 1979, Kazanlak Tomb is in the List of World Heritage of UNESCO. Thracians demonstrated exceptional craft skills in the processing of gold and silver.

  • FATIŠE KOLO Serbian
    FATIŠE KOLO Serbian PRONUNCIATION: FAH-tee-sheh KOH-loh TRANSLATION: [The Vranje girls] joined hands in the circle dance (see "Background" below). Fatiše is a form of dialect for the literary verb "hvatiti se," which is why it can't be found in dictionaries. SOURCE: Dick Oakes learned this dance from Anatol Joukowsky who introduced it to folk dancers on the West Coast of the United States at the Santa Barbara Folk Dance Conference in 1963. This dance description is based on original notes by Ruth Ruling. Dick Crum also introduced a similar dance on the East Coast in about 1967. BACKGROUND: The dance was originally a women's dance. It comes from the South Serbian town of Vranje, which has a fine Turkish bridge and Turkish baths dating from the 17th century. The song on the recommended recording tells about young women from Vranje who dance the kolo, the traditional Serbian dance, around the village fountain and that all recognize that Taša is the prettiest one. The dance is also known as "Kolo from Vranje" and "Vranjsko djevojačko kolo." Mr. Joukowsky described this dance (Kolo from Vranje) on pages 49-50 in his book The Teaching of Ethnic Dance. Mr. "J" was ballet master at the Belgrade Opera in the 1930s and undoubtedly had to choreograph this dance several times, which may explain the differences between the "character dance" form described here and that taught to Mr. Crum in 1952 by the local Vranje amateur folk dance group. According to Mr. Crum, in the Serbian language it is permissible to put predicate before subject, hence the predicate "fatiše kolo" ("joined [hands] in the kolo") comes before the subject ("vranjske devojke" - "the Vranje girls").
