Dance program
By collaborating with numerous ethno-choreologists and choreographers over the years, an impressive repertoire of choreographies has been created. Some 100 choreographies, representing the song and dance traditions of Croatia, as well as the song and dance traditions of Croats who have lived for centuries in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Vojvodina, Montenegro and beyond make up this collection.
Throughout a season, LADO gives several full length dance concerts in which a dozen or so choreographies are performed, and these represent most areas of the country. The desire is to present a diverse and varied program which represents all four ethnically specific areas of Croatia which are the Alpine, Pannonian, Dinaric and Adriatic regions.
For those audiences that appreciate the art of folklore on stage, LADO also gives full length thematic performances, such as the recent Na moru i kraju (At Sea and on Land), which showcases dances from the Adriatic region, from its islands, coastline and hinterland. Dragi naš kaj (Our Dear "Kaj") consists of songs and dances from Northern Croatia, from the Kajkavian Region. A concert in the making, titled Lipi naši škoji (Our Pretty Islands), will highlight the folklore from the Adriatic islands, and is planned to be presented during 2008.
