Shepherd Dances From East Serbia

These are the dances from east Serbia where Vlasi and Serbs live together. Like everything else in Yugoslavia, customs and dances of these two nations are mixed. Vlasi used to believe that tripping could drive out the spirits of the earth, so these quick steps represent the most interesting part of this dance. Costumes for this dance are typical shepherds clothes (sheep's wool vests and capes, walking sticks...), which they wore while guarding the sheep.
