PERFORMING ENSEMBLE
The performing ensemble is an essential part of every cultural and artistic society. The aim of the ensemble is to preserve the traditions of the Serbian people and their intangible cultural heritage with their work, as well as to present them in a dignified manner in the country and abroad. According to their quality and reputation that they enjoy in the folklore world of Belgrade, Serbia, as well as abroad, Performing Ensembles have always been the driving force of cultural and artistic societies. The core of the ensemble consists of high school students, successful students of Belgrade faculties, educators, economists, lawyers, adults with acting experience. Prepared choreographies are ready for all-evening programs made up of very attractive dances and songs from all over Serbia. Harmony of movement, agility, massiveness, practice, regularity, dedication, desire and superb playing technique will be the main features of the aforementioned ensemble. Through this section, students will be affirmed through choreographic works, as well as the ensemble itself, which will perform those works at concerts throughout the country and abroad. Do you want to return to folklore again after a number of missed years?! Are you an active player, and you need a new environment, new plays and songs?! The pursuit of professionalism no longer has to be your dream. Join us!
SCHOOL OF FOLKLORE
Folk dances are extremely important for the adequate development of motor and psychophysical abilities of younger and older children. They encourage individual and group creative expression, strengthen the competitive spirit and the feeling of belonging to the group. The development of children’s folklore creativity and the affirmation of Serbian folklore among young generations are the primary goals of this section. In relation to the age of the enrolled children, we will form the following groups:
– younger group (4 and 5 years old),
– middle group (6 and 7 years),
– older group (8 to 10 years),
– mixed group (from 5th to 8th grade).
Children’s and youth ensembles would be formed after a certain period during which the playing abilities of children who are already engaged in folk dance at this age would be determined.
Students of the Master’s program of the Institute, who have many years of experience in working with children, would introduce children who are encountering folklore for the first time to the world of Serbian tradition in a professional and fun way. Little ones would improve their social skills through play and socializing. The culture, education and health of your children are our first priority. Welcome!
SCHOOL OF MUSIC
Your child is from 7 to 15 years old?! Plays a certain instrument, maybe attends a music school? We can help him master folk music through the performance of folk songs, children’s songs in the folk spirit, melodies for the choreography of folk dances, and later, arrangements of more complex musical works. Accordion, violin, double bass, guitar, bass guitar, cello, flute, clarinet, saxophone, drum… are the instruments represented in folk orchestras. Through gradual work with ethnomusicologists, musicians and professors from the Institute, your child will be introduced to the world of Serbian folklore. Join us to perform together!
