Bajrace

Notes

Women's dance from Macedonia. Bajrace or Žensko Beranče (Женско беранче) is woman's dance from the western part of the Kostur area in what is now Greek Macedonia.

It has an unusual rhythm - 12/8, 12/16 or 18/16 depending on who you ask. Originally called Bajrace, the name of this dance was later changed to Žensko Beranče by Pece Atanasovski. Žensko means woman's, and Beranče comes from the word Berat, which is a major city in Albania. So it means "Like a dance from Berat" or "The Berat Dance".
