Traditional dance from Slovenia – RAŠPLA

One of the tasks of the Erasmus+ project “Our Cultures – Our Treasures” was to teach students from other countries to dance a folk dance. Our young folklorists chose the dance rašpla and, in cooperation with individual students from the 2nd, 3rd, 5th, 6th and 7th grades, prepared English instructions for this dance.

The students who took part in the mobility to Portugal have already presented the dance and taught the participating students from foreign countries how to dance it. At that time we came to an interesting discovery. Our friends from Portugal informed us that they also know a very similar dance, which even has a similar name.

With the video, we wanted to show that we care about our culture, that we respect and appreciate it. The school folklorists, however, are trying to keep the tradition alive through dancing and singing.
