A girls’ song sounds from the darkness. They are getting ready to dance. The boys from the neighbouring villages want to stand out against each other to show who will be in charge of this dance. The victory is theirs, the girls join them in a seven-step dance, the ZIBENŠRIT folk dance.
Girls begin a set of dances by dancing VEVRCA or a squirrel dance. Boys join in with the song Sredi vasi zavriskamo or In the middle of the village we shout and cheer and then they dance the VEVRCA together. The ŠPACIRVALCER dance or a strolling waltz follows.

A lonely shepherd plays the flute in the shade of white birches. Fairies are attracted by a gentle sound as they love dancing. But woe to him who observes them! The shepherd is frightened and runs away.
