Prvi ples vjerojatno je ranije tancan u poskocima kao Dučec/Kozatuš. Danas je zaboravljen. Imenujmo ga hopseš, proljetni, sjetveni ili svadbeni ples ili ples mačkara / fašenjski ples. Dolazi iz obreda plodnosti. Vezan je za mačkare, 1. dan proljeća, sjetvu i svadbu. Drugi tanec - polka dodan je u 19. stoljeću. Lado pod tim imenom svira nešto netradicionalno. U Sloveniji se zove Špic polka. The Selnica Folklore Orchestra (The Vajdić Band) from Gornja Stubica (1971) Folklorni orkestar Selnica (Vajdići) iz Gornje Stubice 1971.Lineup & Traditional Instruments:3 Violins (Gosle):1st Violin: Mirko Vajdić (Merkić) 2nd Violin: Štef Kuzman 3rd Violin: Lojza Kreber Žveglica (Traditional Wooden Flute): Štef Pugar (Svilčec) Bugarija (Traditional Rhythm Tamburica): Štef Pezić (Pepić) Bajs (Traditional Folk Double Bass – played with a bow): Štef Vajdić (Čeber) Ethnomusicological Context & History:This piece features the traditional "Judin Polka" from the Hrvatsko Zagorje region. The first section of the dance was likely originally performed with energetic leaps, similar to the traditional Dučec or Kozatuš dances. Today, this original form is largely forgotten.It can be conceptually named a hopseš (hopping dance), a spring, sowing, wedding, or carnival/masquerade dance (fašenjski ples). Rooted deeply in ancient fertility rituals, it is traditionally tied to carnival customs, the first day of spring, agricultural sowing, and wedding celebrations. The second dance—the polka—was later integrated into the performance during the 19th century.Note: While the Lado Ensemble performs a piece under this title, their rendition follows a non-traditional arrangement. In neighboring Slovenia, this melody is known as the "Špic Polka."
