Sote
Shota (indefinite Albanian form: Shotë), Vallja e Shotës or K'cimi i Shotës is an Albanian dance originating in northern Albania and Kosovo. It is an important symbol of Albanian sentiment and patriotism.
A professional ensemble from Pristina was established in 1950 by ethnic Albanians of Kosovo as one of the ensembles of Yugoslavia, and was named 'Shota' after the Albanian traditional dance. The Albanian traditional dance was originally choreographed by the Shota ensemble. Along with the Rugova sword dance, Shota is among the Albanian traditional dances that were adopted and performed by other ensembles of Yugoslavia, such as Kolo from Serbia and Tanec from Macedonia. It acquired popularity and was also adopted by many amateur groups within Yugoslavia, also spreading in other regions of Southeast Europe.
The dance involves synchronised steps and a strong rhythm. It is commonly played at weddings, folk festivals and other events.
