Tine Rožanc Folkloric Dance Group
History
The folklore group was originally established as part of the Tine Rožanc Railway Cultural Association (1921), the history of which is linked to a 19th-century cultural initiative connected with the construction of the Southern Railway from Vienna to Ljubljana and Trieste. During the 1960s the group toured to Trieste, Gorizia, London, Dijon, Lienz and Meran, and won the first prize at a festival at Bellingham. In the 1970s it co-operated with a folkloric group from Haifa, Israel, and later toured to Finland, the Czech Republic, Italy, Switzerland, Germany and Egypt within the programming framework of the International Council for Organisations of Folklore Festivals and Folk Art (CIOFF), Slovenia, with which it closely cooperates also today.
Repertory
The group presents the Slovene folkloric heritage (customs, costumes, music and dance) throughout Slovenia and abroad.
