Abstract

The traditional dancing form Konavle has impressed the writers of travel literature, intellectuals and paintersthroughout the centuries. During the twentieth century, the political systems have changed and each of them tried to use the traditional dance for the advertising purposes. On the other hand, the inhabitatnts of Konavle have reacted to the political provocations and have often created dances as signs of resistance or support to the particular political option.
