ASPECTS OF DANCE STYLE THEORY - MOTIFS AS FACTORS OF DIFFERENTING BETWEEN THE COLLECTIVE AND INDIVIDUAL STYLES OF PERFORMING THE SERBIAN KOLO (ROUND DANCE)

Summary/Abstract: Dance style, as an important component of dance performance, has not often been the subject of attention of Serbian ethnochoreologists until now. Sisters Ljubica and Danica Janković were the first to deal with this term back in 1949, defining it, considering its “internal” and “external” manifestations and pointing out the diversity of its individual and collective manifestations. Only after more than fifty years, Olivera Vasić and Zdravko Ranisavljević once again raise questions of the style of Serbian traditional dances, terminologically determining several building motifs as their basic structural identifiers in 2012. After that, there were no new attempts to determine the specificity of regionally different styles in the Serbian dance tradition. In order to compensate for this deficiency, the article investigates the aspects of the performance style of the traditional Moravian dance on the example of a competition held as part of the World Day of the Serbian Kola event, as well as which features of the individual dance style judged the winner.
