Orava Folk Music and Dance

Olasku

This dance is performed by girls dancing over sticks, which are called 'love'.
This dance comes from the village of Osadka in the Low Orava Region, and girls traditionally dance this when playing up on the meadows and also at 'fasiang' festivals.

'Fasiang' is a Slovak festival, with traditional masks, from the Low Orava Region. Typical masks include a bear, a gypsy, a soldier, half-man/half-woman, loktibrada (little bearded dwarf) and others.
