Osogovka (Osogovo folk dance)
The Osogovo folk dance (Osogovka), and its costumes, geografically originate from the villages of Mount Osogovo. Osogovka is a male dance exclusively, and what is peculiar about it is that at one momnet one of the dancers raises the other dancer higher than the level of his shoulders, which requires certain skill and strength. The aim of such folk dances was to show the strength of the dancers, as well as their sense of rhytm, because it is relatively fast, and the steps are energetic.
