Serbs have a simple dance that accompanies the song. Simple, yes, suitable for children, yes, but of the 7 YouTubes I have of Serb children dancing, no 2 are the same. Here we have 4 side-steps to R & L, step in, out, in, out, Stamp x 3, Clap x 3. Two other dances follow.
This one has 4 side-steps to R & L, 1 side-step R, L, R, L, Stamp x 3, Clap x 3.
Same as above, except repeat first side-steps.
The teacher below stamps while clapping.
Below a lot of steps are replaced with stamps.
These kids seem to be trying to introduce a new step at the end.
And these guys are getting quite creative. Ja Posijah Lubenica is only the first dance in a medley.
