  Kolo (dance) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Kolo (Serbian Cyrillic: Коло, Croatian Latin: Кolo) is a collective folk dance, where a group of people (usually several dozen, at the very least three) hold each other by the hands or around the waist dancing, ideally in a circle, hence the name.
The dance is accompanied by instrumental two-beat music with the same name, made most often with an accordion, but also with other instruments: frula (traditional kind of a recorder), tamburica, or harmonica.
This dance is usually very simple to learn, but experienced dancers dance kolo with great virtuosity due to different ornamentic elements they add, such as syncopated steps etc.
