Teskoto (Тешкото, Macedonian for The Hard One), is a Macedonian folk dance^[1]. Origins of this folk dance are from the western part of Republic of Macedonia and are related to whole Miak region. This traditional folk dance is the image of the hard life that Macedonian people lived starting from the second half of the 19th sentury. It is traditionally performed by the close family of a person who goes abroad to earn money for his family. This folk dance has inspired many artists and poets (for example Blaze Konevski and his poem "Teskoto" - "The Hard One").

The dance was first introduced to Tanec (the national folklore performance group in the Republic of Macedonia) by the village dancers. The original name for the dance was Sitnata (Macedonian: Ситната; English: The small/fine one). Tanec changed the name to Kopačka and the dance subsequently became so famous that the villagers adopted this name of Kopačka for both the dance and the name of their group, to remind everyone whence this dance originally came.The dance is based on a combination of two songs: Dimna Juda for the slow, walking part of the dance, and Derviško Dušo (Viško) for the fast part of the dance.

Som avslutning har vi ett klipp om Galicka svadba.

The Galichnik Wedding Festival (Galička Svadba in Macedonian) is an annual Macedonian festival held in the Macedonian village of Galicnik near the city of Debar in which a selected couple gets married in the traditional "Galichka" style wedding. Traditionally the wedding lasted for 5 days with the main activities on St. Peter's Day (12 July) every year. It was the only period of the year when couples got married. Today it is part of the festival "Galichko Leto" (Galicnik Summer) and it is a two-day event held on the weekend nearest to 12^th of July and it serves as a cultural and tourist attraction.

During the wedding, men dance the "Teškoto", symbolizing the suffering of the Macedonian people trough the centuries. ^[1]

Each year, couples from all over Macedonia enter a competition run by the organisers to be the couple that gets to have a "Galichka" style wedding. Every year, a new couple gets the opportunity (Wikipedia).
