Sossana

Two dances for men from Macedonia. “Sossana” is an unusual dance of the type Dipatos. It is danced in two circles, the one on the shoulders of the other. It exists in many areas but is only danced once a year in February.

Pousnitsa, one of the best loved dances from the area, is characterised by the last variation in which the men fall on their knees and bounce up again.
