Serbian Folklore Dance Group
Folklore
Serbian traditional dance plays an important role in preserving our culture and identity tradition far away from the homeland. Through centuries it has been one of the strongest links built between generations to this day. Folklore dance is a unique and enjoyable component in creating a sense of belonging to a community, Orthodox cultural heritage and our nation with rich history and tradition.
Serbian Folklore Dance Group “Svetosavlje”, as a part of the CSC “Sveti Sava” in London, Ontario, has a long-lasting history for over 25 years. Throughout the years, our dancers had numerous opportunities to perform and show their talent at various folklore festivals along many other folklore groups from across Canada and United States, proudly representing the London Serbian community.
Folklore dance, as part of tradition and form of recreation, plays an important role in the development of children and youth among everybody else. In addition, we would like to highlight a few additional benefits of engaging in folklore dance:
Creation of own cultural identity
Development of creativity, imagination, social connections, and social integration
Strengthening motor skills, coordination, endurance, center for balance and musicality through games, songs and dances, especially in younger population
Improving the ability to work in larger groups (team building).
We perform, travel, build friendships and create lasting memories.
We are happy our group continuously grows and attracts more youngsters. Currently there are three groups of dancers, ages ranging from preschoolers to university graduates. Today in the group, we have our former dancers bringing their children to practices, which is a proof that our tradition lives and persists in this world of differences.
