Why are there few Bosnian dances in the IFD repertoire?
• Few Bosnian teachers and lack of any charismatic Bosnian teacher, although Minja has popularized Bosnian singing, and Ankica Petrovic and Mansur Hatic tour. • Unusual music • Serb and Croat Bosnians comprise the majority of the few Bosnian immigrants to North America, and they prefer the Serb music of RTB and the tamburitsa music of the North American Yugoslav immigrant community, a community which fed Beliajus, Herman, Crum, and Filcich. • Lack of state-sponsored Bosnian ensembles in the former Yugoslavia • Establishment of Glamoch as THE Bosnian dance precluded other dances in other state-sponsored ensembles.
