Kola dancing, performed here at Henderson’s inaugural Tarara Day in 1999, is one of the most visible parts of Dalmatian culture. It is a form of circle dance in which dancers hold hands or waists and spin around to the music of the tamburica orchestra. Kola was often performed in Northland during the 1960s and 1970s.
