International Festival of Dance and Songs
International Folk Dance and Music Festival “Adriatic Fest”
Budva,Bar,Canj, Montenegro
24 August - 28 August
Overview
Montenegro- The deepest canyon in Europe
Montenegro possesses a unique brand of spellbinding magic that is evident from its wild coastlines, looming, grand mountain ranges, serene waters and its culture, too. That is why the world’s media has for some time now been fascinated with.
A dimension of Montenegrin culture is the ethical ideal of Čojstvo i Junaštvo, "Humaneness and Gallantry". The traditional folk dance of the Montenegrins is the Oro, the "eagle dance" that involves dancing in circles with couples alternating in the centre, and is finished by forming a human pyramid by dancers standing on each other's shoulders.
