Abstract

The first issue to raise is how to write about dance at all? Since dance is primarily a physical act the dance researchers face numerous problems when wanting to textualise or write down the dance steps. Therefore, were we to use the already existing dance notation systems, we would be able to note merely the dance structure, leaving the stylistic performance, subjective impression and atmosphere unexpressable. The second part of the paper deals with the marginal phenomena of the carnival (Poklad) of the island of Lastovo.
