The dances from the eastern side of Macedonia called Pirinian Macedonia.
Specifically for the choreography is that it's very dynamically and attractive, most of the time it's with strong and fast steps. The choreography symbolizes the spring time full fill with flowers and the happiness of the girls and boys about the filling that goes with. The most expressive
solo-part of the game is the playing of a male and a female pair of dancers symbolizing enamored pair, surrounded by other dancers.
