_____________________________________________________________________________________ About ZFDE (The Zagreb Folk Dance Ensemble Dr. Ivan Ivancan)
From its very beginning in May 1945, the ZFDE (The Youth Cultural and Artistic Society Joza Vlahovic at that time) was dedicated to performing artistically formed folklore of certain villages or areas. The foundations to such approach were laid by the first art director and choreographer, prof. Zvonimir Ljevakovic, who called exclusively the dancers and musicians of the ZFDE to the new Ensemble of the national songs and dances of Croatia Lado which he founded in 1949 (it was called the Choir of national dances and songs). One of the founders of the ensemble and the successor of prof Zvonimir Ljevakovic as the art director and choreographer, Dr. Ivan Ivancan, Ph.D. went the same path.
A seasoned choreographer typically takes inspiration by being present at village festivities, and by writing down parts of the national inheritance. The ensemble pays special attention in their use of national costumes, decorations, and headgear in order to represent every region as authentic as possible, Likewise, there is a vast selection of stringed instruments, wind instruments, windpipes, and the drums.
