October 6, 2025, Playlist, Nemoj Kate (Croatian/Netherlands), Dancing weekly in Socktober.

[katia mucha]

Hi, dancers,

On Monday, dancers enjoyed Nemoj Kate (Don't, Kate).  

This dance was choreographed in the Netherlands by Josien Teuling 

using Croatian steps and was named for a cheery Croatian song. 

The dance was introduced to folk dancers in 2021 by Tineke van Geel, 

but the song dates to 1997. 

The name of the musical group that recorded it, Klappa Ragusa, 

refers to a singing group from once Ragusa, now Dubrovnik, a city in 

the Croatian costal area of Dalmatia. There are good dance videos 

below in Folk Dance Musings, but here Klappa Ragusa takes

 us on a scenic tour. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6fLcXBWnX3c

Lyrics:  Don’t do it, don’t, don’t. 

Kate, don’t listen to your mother!         I am the right man for you.
She says bad things about me ...           Believe me and let go of your mother.

Dancing weekly on Mondays and Fridays in SOCKTOBER.

Hope to see you at dancing with some like-new, men's or unisex

socks that you no longer need or wear - for the Corner Shower

 and Laundry in Detroit.  We have 16 pairs so far. Thanks!
