Our school is situated in the center of Split. Our primary School 'Spinut' recently celebrated its fortieth anniversary. There are about 600 pupils aged between 7 and 14 years.   

Our pupils dance and sing in folk group. We started working 4 years ago because we wanted to enrich our children to original and ancient traditions through dancing.

Old Split dances 

The traditional dance in our city of Split was founded more than 100 years. It consists of three dances: "monfrina", "četvorka" and "šaltin polka" These dances are characterized by elegant moves, refined posture and softness of steps which show the influence of Western part of the Mediterranean.

Hello,Europe! Here we are, ready to learn about your schools, countries and dances.
We are going to dance a"Tarantella",a southern Italian couple folk dance, accompanied by tambourines. The term "Tarantella" comes from "tarantula"(or the Mediterranean black widow) spider. The original legend tells that someone who had been bitten by a tarantula had to dance to a upbeat tempo to sweat the poison out.
