The Bosnian Lilies

Bosnian Folk Music and Dance
Mentor Artists: Mediha Jusufagic and Mark Sustic 

Bosnian Lillies dance group, Burlington, Vermont. Supported by the Vermont Traditional Arts Apprenticeship Program of the Vermont Folklife Center, Middlebury Vermont. Audio slideshow by Ned Castle.

An empty community room is slowly filled by the trickle of adolescents arriving for their weekly dance practice. Before long, Mediha and Mark have handed out instruments and assigned dance positions and the room is filled with the sounds and movement of traditional Bosnian folk songs.
