Čizme Moje

Prigorje Region, translated “by the hills,” is located in the environs of Croatia’s capital Zagreb where the “kaykavian” dialect is prevalent. A prominent dance in this area is “drmeš” (shaking dance – a fine, subtle shaking of the entire body) and was accepted a long time ago and is still danced today. Željko Jergan researched the Kašinsko Prigorje region, particularly a small village of Kašina Northwest of Zagreb, from 1975-1984.
