Abstract

The author thoroughly describes the form and figures, the way of performing and function of kala as a social dance and dance of a saloon in the middle of 19th century. She deals with the connection of folk dance and urban dance, analyzing the situation of conscious and deliberate adaptation of the "folk dance" to the drawing-room dancing situation.
Dancing manuals and the entire social conditions in Croatia and Zagreb have been studied in search for the elements which give evidence on the contemporary social role of kola dance. The Croatian kala happens to be the unique dancing sign of the epoque, and it must be accepted and recognized as such.
