ületati

Uletati is a traditional dance form originating from the Republic of Macedonia, also known as North Macedonia. It is performed by groups of men, typically wearing colorful traditional costumes, and is accompanied by traditional instruments such as the gaida, a type of flute, and the tambura, a string instrument. The dance is characterized by its lively and energetic movements, with participants often forming a circle and moving in a synchronized manner.

The name "uletati" translates to "to fly" in English, reflecting the dance's dynamic and fluid nature. The dance is often performed during festivals, celebrations, and other social events, and is an important cultural expression of the Macedonian people. It is also recognized as an Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity by UNESCO.

The dance has evolved over time, incorporating elements from other Balkan dances and music, but it remains a vital part of Macedonian cultural identity. It is often performed by professional dance groups and is also taught in schools and cultural centers to preserve and promote this important aspect of Macedonian heritage.
