Serbian Dancing Lady

Footage of a woman swaying her hips under the moonlight — dubbed the “Serbian dancing lady” — has become a viral sensation on TikTok.

The 11-second clip, set to horror music, has drawn more than 105.3 million views since it was posted in February. “Be careful guys,” reads the video’s caption.

The post comes three years after several people reported witnessing an elderly woman dressed in a “national” outfit dancing in Serbian streets and threatening onlookers with a knife. The story is spreading, as well as pictures and videos where a woman, who they say is not in her right mind, dressed in something similar to a national costume, jumps out in front of people and cars, and then starts to dance something similar to the movements of Serbian folklore.  Namely, to make matters worse, people in cars are playing for her to get out of the way, and passers-by are taking cover, whereupon she takes out her knife that she carries with her and threatens people.

Footage of the dancing lady in which a dark, ‘demon’ shadow behind her has caused rumours she is possessed by the devil or a demon.

From Alex Magaña and ACMofficial comes the fourth entry in the Serbian Dancing Lady horror short series. A series that started off so-so and hasn’t managed to deliver anything memorable to date. Will Serbian Dancing Lady 4 change that? It begins in interesting fashion as two woman, Amanda (Dominique Vianney) and Katelyn (Suzannah Samuel) are in the street attempting to recreate the legend for a…

The Serbian Dancing Lady is a modern urban legend that has captivated the imagination of many. Originating from social media and internet forums, this figure is often described as a mysterious woman who dances eerily on the streets at night in various parts of Serbia. The legend has taken on various forms, from harmless pranks to sinister warnings, each iteration adding layers to the myth.

The story of the Serbian Dancing Lady gained traction in the early 2020s, largely due to viral videos and posts on platforms like TikTok and YouTube. These accounts typically depict a woman, dressed in white or traditional clothing, dancing alone in the dead of night. The dance itself is often depicted as unusual and unsettling, contributing to the eerie atmosphere of the sightings. Some versions of the tale suggest that if approached, the dancing lady becomes aggressive, sometimes brandishing a knife or chasing the onlooker. This element of danger adds a compelling thrill to the urban legend, making it a popular topic for internet sleuths and thrill-seekers alike.

The phenomenon of the Serbian Dancing Lady reflects broader cultural and psychological themes. Urban legends often serve as a means for communities to process collective fears and anxieties. In this case, the figure of a lone, dancing woman in the night can symbolize deeper societal concerns such as the fear of the unknown, the vulnerability of being alone in the dark, and the unsettling feeling of encountering something that defies explanation. Additionally, the legend highlights the power of social media in shaping and spreading contemporary folklore. What might have once been a local ghost story can now achieve global notoriety within days, thanks to the connectivity of the internet.

Moreover, the Serbian Dancing Lady can be seen as a modern reflection of historical folklore. Many cultures have their own versions of spectral women who appear under mysterious circumstances, from the La Llorona of Latin American legend to the White Lady apparitions common in European folklore. These stories often carry moral or cautionary messages, warning against certain behaviors or places. In a similar vein, the Serbian Dancing Lady might be interpreted as a cautionary tale about the dangers of wandering alone at night or the unpredictability of the human psyche.

Despite its chilling nature, the legend of the Serbian Dancing Lady also showcases the human penchant for storytelling and the creation of shared experiences. The thrill of a potential encounter with the supernatural provides a form of entertainment and a topic for communal discussion. Whether believed to be true or not, the legend serves as a contemporary campfire story, evoking curiosity, fear, and fascination.

In conclusion, the Serbian Dancing Lady is a modern urban legend that encapsulates a blend of fear, folklore, and the influence of social media. It serves as a testament to the enduring nature of storytelling and the ways in which contemporary culture continues to create and propagate myths. As with all urban legends, its truth may be less important than its impact, as it continues to intrigue and unsettle those who hear the tale.

Steppies quick question 😭 are there any Serbians here? If so, I’d like to know if the Serbian dancing lady thing is true 💀//

Hi, not Serbian but Croatian. I have never heard about her but apparently she first appeared in 2019 in the city centre of Beograd. She’s believed to have been mentally ill. She would attack the passersby with a knife but there hasn’t been recorded any killings. She’s now more of an urban legend so I don’t think the new videos are real or that she’s still on the streets. We here have a lot of superstition and legends that come from long before (like 7th century) so there are different interpretations of why she’s dancing (the devil or demons or evil spirits).

So the TikToks scaring me at night aren’t real? 😭

Bitches in the Balkans.

The Balkans has been a region of the world that’s been on my radar for a while now. It’s not a region of Europe thats not quite as popular amongst tourists, is therefore less expensive that most other regions in Europe, and has warm weather & beaches, so when I found out that Gaby and Timnit could join me or some travelling, I KNEW this was where we would go. 

After arriving in Belgrade around noon on Saturday, I checked into my hostel and spent the afternoon at the Yugoslavia museum and then wandering around a little, before my friends arrived at 7pm. We just missed a period of non-stop rain so the streets were still quite flooded and it was quite chilly out. That evening we did some bar hopping, and ended off the night at various bars that float along the river, called Splavs. The folllowing day, we took part in a walking tour, learned about the history of Yugoslavia, the relationship between Serbia and Kosovo. The tour took us through most of the historic city center, and ended at the fortress overlooking the confluence of the Danube and Sava rivers. After lunch we spent some time napping in a park, before visiting the Nikola Tesla Museum and eventually eating the most delicious and coupious amount of food possibly that I’ve ever had in my life.

That night, we made our way to Sarajevo, capital city of Bosnia & Herzegovina, which was probably the most eye opening part of the trip. It was quite somber walking through the Museum of Crimes Against Humanity and Genocide and learning about the city’s dark & recent history, then going on a walking tour and being able to actually see physical damage (bullet holes) that was done to a lot of the buildings, which have not been repaired yet due to finances and legal reasons. We got hit with quite a bit of rain the Sarajevo, so we often took some breaks for Bosnian Coffee or a glass of wine at a sky bar. We also made a visit to the Tunnel of Hope (sort of like the Cuchi Tunnels in Saigon) that we’re used during the war for protection and safe transportation of goods. We met the most wonderful people in Sarajevo, notably an elderly man who let us into a museum 30 minutes after closing, (after having walked 15 minutes in the pouring rain), and the owner & employee of a bar we’d found, who spent hours talking to us after closing, telling us about their lives and their country, and offering us a round of drinks.

Mostar was quite touristy, (mostly Chinese tourist on day trips from Croatia), but we made sure to avoid the city center / Bazaar during peak hours. We visited a beautiful cemetery overlooking the city, and took a taxi to Blagaj, an old Muslim dervish house that sits on a cliff and river, where we got completely rained on. In the evening we partook in a walking tour, where we learned about the conflict/separation between the Bosnians and Croats in the city of Mostar. There are 2 of everything : school, hospital, church, mosque, one on each side of the divide. There is only 1 school right on the separation line / ’no man’s land’ where you can find a mix of Bosnians and Serbs, and where all classes are mixed together except for language and history. Mostar was definitely the city where there were the most abandoned/damaged buildings remaining from the war.

What touched us the most about Bosnia was its people and their incredible hospitality & openness, despite their gruesome past.  

The middle chunk of our trip was spent in Croatia & Montenegro, where we got very little sleep, but lots of sun!! After a few hours in Split, grabbing lunch and wandering around the old town and pier, we boarded our ferry to the island of Hvar. Hvar was a really good time - we met a bunch of people, ate some good food and spent lots of time on the beach, hanging out at beach bars and dancing our butts off.

On top of our lack of sleep and terrible hangovers, it was excruciatingly hot in Dubrovnik and very difficult to find shade, so after our respective walking tours in the morning (my friends did the Game of Thrones tour while I just did a regular tour), we spent the rest of the day trying to stay indoors, and eventually took a taxi to this amazing lookout point at the top of the mountain before heading to the bus station to kill time before our bus to Montenegro.

Kotor was one of my favourites. Not only is it breathtakingly beautiful, but we had a really good hostel experience and were so close to extending our stay an extra night! We spent our day wandering the old town, then hopping on a boat which brought us to the picturesque town of Perast and the beautiful island In the middle of the Bay, called Our Lady of the Rocks. Around sundown, Timnit and I ventured up to the fortress for an incredible view of the bay. It was definitely one of the most beautiful views I have ever seen! 

Budva was super chill, since there’s not much to do besides the beach. It kind of felt like a Cancun of the Balkans - very built up city with resorts, casinos and lots of partying. I ended up wandering around the old town on my own for a while because Timnit and Gaby both had work to do on their computers. I walked the city walls and visited the citadel overlooking the water, and then went to the beach with Gaby for a bit before walking along the beach and grabbing diner all together. On our last morning in Montenegro, I made the girls wake up at 5am to squeeze in a visit to Mount Lovcen before making our long journey to Prizren, Kosovo. We got there an hour before it opened (of course none of us thought to look at the opening times ahead of time), but the lovely man running the gate let us in early because there were quite a few people who were waiting there with us. We climbed the 461 steps to the Mausoleum of a famous Serbian/Montenegrin poet and philosopher, behind the mausoleum was a path that led onto a lookout point. Along the way, I lost both of my friends to their fear of heights, and honestly they really missed out cause it was incredible! We got our taxi to drop us off at the bus station in Budva, and then killed some tiime before beginning our long journey to Kosovo.

The last 4 days of my trip were really hot, so we ended up spending alot of time indoors. Gaby and Timnit were both working during our trip so we spent a few hours every day in a cafe, escaping the heat and being productive. Kosovo was really interesting! We spent 1 day in Prizren, 'the cultural capital', and a day in Pristina, the capital city with a population of 210,000, the average age being 25. (65% of the whole country's population is under the age of 35). There’s not a ton to do tourism-wise so we spent a lot of time sitting in cafes and bars, and in Pristina, the capital city, we decided to do a walking tour to get an overview of the city and learn a bit about its history. I’ll never forget getting chased around by a stray dog for 30 minutes, and all the locals laughing at the fact that we were so freaked out.

Overall, I was really impressed with how many western-influenced restaurants/bars there were and how western a lot of the people were dressed. Kosovars are a little obsessed with America, so most speak pretty good English, and there's even a huge statue of Bill Clinton in Pristina. He's considered a hero because he played a huge part in their liberation 20 years ago. During our trip we'd only met one person (right at the end of our trip) who had plans on going to Kosovo, so it was cool to be one of the few to experience this bit of unchartered territory.

From Pristina, we took a short bus ride across the border to the capital city of Macedonia, Skopje. We didn't originally have plans to make it to Macedonia, but the cheapest flights home (by a landslide) were from Skopje, so we decided to spend some time there before flying home. After arriving in the evening and checking into our hostel, we headed to a restaurant which had been recommended to us by a hostel worker. Thank God he recommended it because it we had some of the best food ever, followed by one of the best nights of the entire trip. Long story short, the restaurant had live music and essentially turned into a bar full of locals, singing and dancing, the servers offered us free shots, which essentially turned into bottom-less free shots, and by the end of the night, we were riding around the streets of Skopje in a convertible with a bunch of locals, blasting music and singing at the top of our lungs. We spent most of the next day on a walking tour, then eating, drinking beers and hanging out with some solo travellers we had met on our walking tour. That night, we had a big dinner all together in a fancy restaurant, where we all treated ourselves to the most delicious 10€ steaks, then went to a Karaoke bar before saying goodbye to Gaby and Timnit. They both had very early morning flights that night/morning, and mine wasn't until 6pm, so I spent my last day with one of our new friends, taking a cable car to the top of Vodno mountain, and then visiting a museum before heading to the airport in the late afternoon. 

My journey home was extremely long because my flight was 1 hour and 15 minutes delayed, and then I had to take an hour and a half bus ride to Paris from Beauvais airport, but hey I guess that's what I get for a 15€ flight!  

I’m feeling really appreciative to not only have the opportunity to travel, but also to be able to do it with my friends who I've known for over 17 years! We had so much fun together laughing and learning, just like we did together in elementary school.

serbian brides

4 indications you’ re at a Serbian wedding ceremony

MY OTHER HALF ZDRAVKO, a freshly produced Canadian consumer born and reproduced in Belgrade, was stunned at how clear and also specific my wedding celebration goal was actually.

Serbs, I discovered, usually wear’ t participate in the wedding celebration imagination that many Canadian females do, delighting in bridezilla-oriented truthtelevision and magazines. Actually, it was only minutes after his intimate plan on a quiet seaside in the Dominican that I started tossing my Serbian Wedding proposal.

Zdravko was delighted that the words ” goal wedding celebration ” as well as ” Serbia ” remained in the very same paragraph. He was likewise conveniently swayed throughmy arguments because it indicated that his whole family members would have the capacity to go to without having to secure Canadian visitor visas or paying inflated amounts of dinars for air travel.

By the end of our conversation, he was in fact relocated by my kindness as well as willingness to accept his society.

Rent- a-dress

There is no outfit frenzy. Instead of investing thousands of bucks on an outfit you merely get to wear as soon as, serbian dating sites merely rent out one for a fraction of the expense. Dazzling, huh?

Unfortunately, I had no time at all to get this performed in the full week leading up to the celebration so I required to discover one just before leaving behind Toronto. I located a lady the same to my elevation as well as dimension on Craigslist selling a barely-used, silk, ivory, strapless Pronovias outfit for a realistic $400 (may’ t feel she paid over $2000 originally, plus alterations). DEAL!

Bruno, the International Guy of Honour

Bruno, a taking a trip buddy coming from S & atilde; o Paulo I complied within a Bolivian hotel a few years back, kindly agreed to be my kum (best man) as he had actually planned to become in Eastern Europe concurrently.

Brazilians are a fairly uncommon event in Serbia beyond telecasted sporting activities, whichperhaps discusses why my brand-new household was thus stunned when he got here bearing zero similarity to Ronaldinho. Tall, charming, multilingual, and also along withtelenovela excellent appeals, Bruno included smiles as well as a few blushes on the surface of my women in-laws while generating a quick enhancement of their efficiency in English.

Bruno to me feels like Pippa to Kate, an unpleasant surprise scene-stealer in the large moment. My relative, no doubt also influenced by the delight in England only months previously, helped make the analogue also clearer throughenlisting 4 bloom females to follow our team in the wedding ceremony.

The bachelorette

Pre- wedding event celebrations in Serbia are drastically different coming from the NorthUnited States strike of engagement events, wedding downpours, bachelorettes, day spa days, and hair and also makeup trials. There is actually little bit of doting over brides in the days anticipating (or even the day of) the wedding celebration.

After a number of days of challenging drinking and dance in Belgrade’ s numerous pubs, coffee shops, and splavs (floating clubs), I discovered on my own on my last day of singledom partaking a small café along withmy sister-in-law, Aleksandra. Chain-smoking and also pummeling back vodka, she supplied me a few terms of Serbian-style inspiration:

” Are you nervous for tomorrow?”

“.

” No. Merely excited. ”

” You should be nervous, being a bride-to-be. Everyone watching your every move, criticizing your every defect. Trust me. It is nerve-racking.”

The crowning moment

I urged that the wedding event occur in Belgrade’ s Saborna Crkva, the basilica throughwhichSerbian Master Peter was actually crowned in 1904. The Saborna is located effortlessly in the Stari Grad, or old area of Belgrade, a cobblestoned location widespread withphoto chances.

The cathedral is actually simple outside; a gray, classically styled outside perverts a luxurious display of oil-painted iconography and Complex greatness on the inside.

My princess-excitement reached full steam as the chanting priest crowned me and we walked around the sanctuary, my train floating happily at the back of. I had no concept what the hell the choir was singing or even what the Orthodox priest was inquiring me, however I really felt pretty incredible along witha big-ass crown on my head.

Ain’ t no event like a Belgrade gathering

The function took place at a bistro in Zemun, a historical location of Belgrade positioned on the Danube River. Withits huge windows experiencing the river, the dining room required little bit of else however an archof white colored florals and simple main features to develop a cheery scene.

This carries me to yet another distinction in between N. American as well as Serbian wedding practices: missing is actually the profane ” as soon as in a life time ” money-spending on tabletop design, vintage-inspired Etsy discovers, exquisite hors d’ oeurves, photobooths, and also celebratory take-home junk for visitors.

There aren’ t even any sort of pep talks, embarrassing garter belt extractions, or even ” gain the main feature” ” activities. Somewhat, the characteristics of solid serbian brides wedding receptions are meat laden plates, challenging alcohol consumption quickly complying withthe service, the kolo (memorable dance in rounded formation), and also rambunctious Gypsy metal bands.

I was actually on-the-floor drunk by the opportunity the cake got there, two big firecrackers blazing out of its own sides.

The kolo dance and drinking began long before dinner was actually provided, and proceeded relentlessly throughout the supper solution. I was on-the-floor drunk due to the time the birthday cake got there, pair of giant firecrackers blazing away from its own edges. My footwear and also artificial lashes vanished due to the opportunity the Gypsies showed up along withtheir heralds.

I danced on an office chair in an incredibly un-princess-bride-like manner as the live band performed ABBA deals with. The Wonder Bra I acquired at Victoria’ s Top secret put daringly out of my dance dress, whichI regularly readjusted like a senior prom queen.

As the final attendees left, Bruno as well as I drank gin and also swapped intoxicated Spanishdiscussion & iquest; Donde están mis pantalones? & iquest; Donde está mi bicicleta? Packed down withbags of leftover pie and also pork, our experts were driven back to my other half’ s loved ones ‘ s apartment in downtown Belgrade.

The after-effects

I was determined to join the after celebration on the streets of Belgrade along withBruno and also Aleksandra but passed out in a drunken amazement as an alternative. Zdravko, extremely sharp and also clean, did his first husbandly responsibility by wiping away the bulky coat of make-up on my face.

“MUSIC FROM THE HILLS,” KDHX, 16 SEPTEMBER 2018

This second show in this run of Unexpected Celtic music built on last week’s survey that spent far more time in the North Atlantic, Brittany, Canada, and Spain than Ireland and Scotland.  This one was a chance for juxtapositions.

I am drawn to these borders and love how porous they are.

I started with what Judy Stein, my entree into the radio station, affectionately calls the Celtic-Hillbilly connection, but including Serbians from Pittsburgh playing Orange Blossom Special and Americans playing Irish music and a Cape Breton playing an American tune.  I have used each of these tunes to make this point before, but this may be the first time I played them all in the same set.

Next up were Irish, Swedish, Asturian, and Québécois impressions of Scottish music.  And I closed the first hour with a hodge podge that included some Venezuelan and Klezmer-tinged music from Celtic musicians.  

The second hour started with a juxtaposition of polkas and polskas and not a hint of Lawrence Welk.  Spanish musicians in particular play their share of polcas.  And then I brought the show back to its Balkan roots by showing how those dance forms have been taken up by mostly Breton musicians.

I had a lot of fun with it and got to text with an old friend whom I didn’t expect to be listening

The Old City

Peace  Love  and Gratitude  Day 11 - Saturday July 22nd, 2017

Nobody has answered my question about sleeping like a baby so I'll just say that I slept like a baby last night. I woke up late and went on a two hour historical walking tour of the city. These are all the facts that I managed to jot down while she was talking us to during it.

14 million visitors this year and 4 million people live here.

3 cruise ships dock equaling 3,800 people pop visit Dubrovnik for the day.

The city walls were built 5 centuries ago.

From the 14th to 19th century Croatia has prospered.

City walls were to keep the enemies out. The enemy was the Venations.

The walls were 6 meters high.

Croatia Creed 'Liberty is not sold for all the gold in the world.'

They have the strongest navy in Europe.

It was a republic before Napoleon and after Napoleon it didn't exist.

I had the most fabulous day! I got out of bed at 9am and went on a two hour city historical walk which was very informative, as you can see from all the points above. Then went out for coffee.

Now I was ready to visit the Synagogue and Jewish Museam.

Today,  the old Sephardi Synagogue can  be found in the street called "Žudioska ulica"  ("Žudio" in Dubrovnik speech - Jew - Jewish Street). The  street connects directly to the Placa street (Stradun) and looks like any  other street in Dubrovnik. In ghetto times, the alley was closed at the top.  At the lower end, near the sign Zudioska ulica ghetto access was controlled  by a gate it is now gone.

The  synagogue is located in a three-storied baroque stone building to the left of  the street entrance. High windows, ogee-arched at the second level, cut the  undistinguished and essentially unchanged stone facade. The Dubrovnik  synagogue is the second oldest synagogue in Europe, second only to the old  synagogue in Prague. It is also said to be the oldest Sephardic synagogue is  use in the world.

A  narrow flight of stairs leads directly to a place where entrance tickets to  the museum sell for a token fee. The walls hold old photos and documents,  including a list of the earthquake victims of 1667, a picture of the Western  Wall in Jerusalem, and many more items related to the Jewish history in  Dubrovnik.

More  steps lead up to the sanctuary. A dominant bearing partition, pierced by  three wide arches, divides the room and the oversize bimah into front and  back areas. Between 1652 and 1670, the synagogue was redecorated in Baroque  style. To replace the women's seating, formerly in a row at the rear, a  raised gallery was added at the south wall by incorporating a room from the  third floor of the adjacent building. A decorative latticework separates it  from the prayer room below. Men sat on high-backed benches along the north  and south walls. The synagogue is not big and the size was probably adequate  for Dubrovnik's Jewish community, whose numbers between the 16th and the 20th  century never exceeded the 260 affiliated persons in 1830.

A  tasteful white satin parokhet (curtain) covers the inlaid doors of the  exquisite Baroque aron kodesh (Ark). The Ark holds several Torah scrolls, one  of which may have originated in Spain before the 1492 expulsions. In  Sephardic fashion, chains carry bronze Florentine memorial lamps containing  glass oil cups in front of the Ark. Heavy maroon velvet drapes form a  dramatic baldachin above the Ark and deck the windows.

The  most important work of art held at the Synagogue is a 13th century Moorish  carpet presumably brought from Spain during the expulsion. With floral design  it glows with contrasting colors against the dark silk background. Legend  claims that it was a gift from Queen Isabella to her Jewish doctor when he  was forced to leave Spain. Another valuable possession of the Synagogue is  the Torah, which is said to be from the 13th or 14th century. It was brought  from Spain after the expulsion.

I'm obsessed with my feet and it was definitely time for a pedicure, so off I went I now have little purple toes and I feel great!

I went to the harbor and caught a boat to Laxton Island, it was peaceful.

It was not very attractive but it was quiet. They have hundreds of rabbits and peacocks and a wonderful little beach called the 'Dead Sea.' It's so full of salt that you can actually float in it. I spent 4 hours lying in the sun and swimming and just chilling. I loved every minute of it.

I caught the last ferry back to Dubrovnik at 8pm. I then went out for dinner to an amazing family owned restaurant called Lady PoPulation. I got lost getting there so it took me an hour to find the place but when I got there they told me they weren't letting any more people in. Eventually they left me in and I shared a table with the most charming young couple, Aaron and Megan. It was so refreshing to be with them. They are both commercial lawyers in England and we just giggled and laughed and shared stories. I really appreciated spending the evening with them.

The restaurant is right at the top of the old city so it's quite a walk all the way down to where I'm staying. There are lots of stairs and lots of little avenues. I enjoyed watching everybody having their dinner. I came across a nightclub and everyone was dancing outside, so I joined them for about half an hour, which that was fun. I was so proud of myself for finding my way home and plopped into bed feeling full, loved and then realized that Sunday is my last day in Croatia. I am excited, grateful and very blessed.
