A dance for the Croatian folk song, Nabrala Je.
Note: Some groups do the Pas de basque of the first part more like a “step-together,” but the energetic Pas de basque with pronounced heel cross is most popular in YouTube videos.
FC Note: Most groups (all YouTube examples with more than one dancer) use the hands down V hand hold, but Fort Collins likes to go hands-on-hips individual style.
