Welcome to the MKUD TANEC website
Tanec means "dance" in Macedonian,
and is the symbol of this Macedonian cultural artistic
association.
In Macedonian folk music, the
drone of the gajda (bagpipes) and chords of the tambura
(two-stringed lute) provide a background for the kaval (flute)
and tapan (a huge cylindrical drum).
The
most famous and popular Macedonian folk dance is called
Teskoto (The Hard One). It is a male dance for which music is
provided by the tapan (a huge cylindrical drum) and the zurla
(large pipes). It starts very slowly and gets progressively
faster. This dance symbolises the national awakening of the
Macedonian people and is performed with dancers dressed in
traditional Macedonian costumes.
