Kimon suggested me to find an Albanian song for you guys to do a lesson on and here's the song called 'vallja e pijanecit'. Really love it! Music

Is this a special dance? What does it mean? Can you post a video?

It means the dance of the rakibe. I'm afraid I cannot find a video of the dancing but I know it very well. At the start the lead dancer goes down like this:



obviously not as fast as this because the beat is slower. When the beat goes fast the leader jumps up starts to dance. Don't know how to explain that it's not 2/4 after you do that you go back half of that and go forward again like 2/4. At the end it's 2/4. Watch all of it if you want.. really lovely dancing
