Hi,I'm glad someone wrote this article. Just 2 points: 1) The part where it says "Hence the name.." the translation of the name is not mentioned in the article, only in the disambiguation page leading to it. (For people who go through it.) 2) At the end where it says the harmonica is used--perhaps they meant harmonika, isn't that just another word for accordion?

Croatians have their own kolo as well.
"mostly danced by Serbs" this isn't true!! Kolo is also very common for Croatians and Bosniaks. This is just arrogant. I wish to change this! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Cantabo07 (talk • contribs) 17:53, 7 February 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Dispute
It is obiously that here exist a disagreement. Therefore I see a need of discussion. This discussion has to be done, otherwise there will follow other steps.
It is visible that here are some users with the opinion that kolo is a serbian dance from the serbian cutlure and heritage. But there are also users who think that this isn't true. When you are writing that kolo is mostly danced by serbs and followed by croatians and bosniaks, then why is this article in the serbian culture and serbian dance categories only? Why not also in the croatian and bosnian? And how can you say that kolo is danced in Bosnia by serbs and bosniaks only and the the kolo in croatia is only danced in slavonia and in regions where serbs are living? Look, my parents are croatians from bosnia and they and all other croatians in bosnia are living witnesses that croatians in bosnia also have their own kolo as well. And how can you tell that kolo in croatia is only danced in slavonia and in places where serbs are living? I don't know any croatian who cannot dance kolo. There isn't any croatian wedding party (and other traditional celebrations) without kolo dances, it doesn't matter whether in istria, slavonia, dalmatia, hecegovina, bosnia or in the diaspora: all croatians dance kolo. especially the croats from central bosnia as well as from posavina have their own kolo style. it hasn't anything to do with scientifically writing if you claim that kolo is serbian. In truth the kolo is descendended from the arabic/middle eastern line-dances through the turkish line dances through the ottoman empire.
It may be true that kolo in croatia is orignially danced in slavonia and other places where serbs where living, but now all croatia and all croatians dance kolo. But I know for sure that croatians in bosnia and hercegovina have their own kolo. The reason for it might be that croatia was occupied from the ottoman empire just for a short time and the rest of the balkan for a much longer time.
I will go in the next days to public libraries and to libraries from the university and the slavistic institute to search as much informations and proofs about kolo. This article is anyway written without any proofs.
Wikipedia is an encyclopedia therefore objective and scientifically writing is essential! Cantabo07 (talk) 17:30, 30 April 2008 (UTC)
