Abstract

The author analyses the complex cultural phenomenon of dance as part
of Carnival customs in Punat on the island of Krk. He interprets
Carnival customs in the light of van Gennep's theory of the rite of
passage, and also observes them as a dance event. The focus of
interpretation of the dance event is transferred from a general view of
the event towards the narrowest, kinemic part of the dance, following
A. F. Snyder's analysis model. The author establishes that the tanac
dance has a specific place in the observed dance event.
