Croatia 🇭🇷 • A Dance Medley! Hrvatski narodni plesovi | ep29

🇭🇷 Croatia! Hrvatska! A country at the crossroads of Central and Southeast Europe. This Adriatic nation has been around since the 6th century. From King Tomislav until Yugoslavia's breakup, Croatia has always managed to maintain its own unique, beautiful and rich identity. Because of its geographic position (being half in the Balkans and half in Central Europe), Croatia represents a blend of different cultural circles that meet, intertwine and complement. Enjoy Croatia through my dance video! ♥︎ 🇭🇷 #croatia
Special thanks and shoutout to my sister who accompanied me and my dear friend Stjepan Grgić (@Stjepan_Gr ) for helping me with this video. I wouldn't be able to do it without him! :)

Brilliant thank you, and the music is hypnotic. I too am fascinated by folk dances. It is like every country has its own "movbement" vocabulary, the way they hold their bodies. I am looking forward to you doing a feature on the Tibetan Gorshey (my favourite at the moment).

Bosnia and Herzegovina has it‘s own history, culture and people, it has nothing to do with Croatia. Same goes for Vojvodina.

[@bartolomeo64beer79]

@@Bre-nd7zi Croats are living in Bosnia & Hercegovina, Vojvodina, Montenegro, Slovenia, some even in Kosovo, entire EU. They survived Turkish occupation, didn’t convert to religion of occupier and certainly will not become “Bosnians” in ethnic sense. They are from Bosnia & Hercegovina and they always would proudly say so, would highlight their geographical origin & place of birth.

Thanks for another beautiful video, Vasilis! It was lovely to see you dancing with Dimitra, big respect to her too! And cheers to beautiful Croatia from Kazakhstan 🇰🇿 ❤ 🇭🇷 P.S. This is going to be a controversial comment, but I’ve noticed you’ve deleted Israeli dances from your Asia and Mediterranean videos. I guess it has to do with current notorious events. While I absolutely condemn what Israel does with Palestine, I think it’s wrong to exclude them. Regardless of our political opinions, Israeli Jewish people do exist and deserve representation like every other culture. We can (and should) condemn Israeli government and military, but we can’t just erase their entire culture from the areas they are essential part of. Support for Palestine shouldn’t turn into blind hatred or exclusion of Israelis. As a person from Balkans, you probably understand that hate only generates more hate. On this channel you’ve always promoted peace and unity between nations, not division or exclusion, and I really hope it will stay that way, Vasilis. Anyway, this is just a humble opinion of your subscriber. Feel free to agree, disagree or ignore me. I wish you and everyone else reading this comment peace and kindness

[@VasilisDance]

Thank you so much my friend! And you're absolutely right, I got carried away with what is going on, and for a minute I forgot my channel's meaning. Peace and unity is the most important. Everything is back on my videos and I'm glad you reminded it! Greetings to beautiful Kazakhstan! ❤

Zavrzlama is serbian dance, all that dances from Knin, Lika, Dalmatia, mostly are serbuan dances because serbuan population lived on that territories until croatia displaced them to serbia and bosnia

[@berliner041078]

That is nonsens. It is just the opposite. That dances are of croatian heritage. The serb population living in regions of Croatia take over that dances and presented it as serbian dances. Second Croatia did not displace them, many of them left Croatia, because they fought against Croatia during the war. Many Croats in Serbia were displaces and expelled from their territory although they did not anything against the state.
