Shota (dance)
Shota (or Shote) is a dance very popular in Kosovo and Metohija. It involves quick steps along with a high tempo beat. It is one of the most well known dances/songs from that region, and is commonly played at weddings, folk festivals and other events.
During the 1960s this dance was performed in Belgrade based on the choreography of Olga Skovran.[1]
One folklore musical ensemble in SFR Yugoslavia was named Šota.[2] In March 2013 the Assembly of Republic of Kosovo approved a law which regulates the functioning of cultural-artistic activities of the National Ensemble of Songs and Dances "Shota".
