Shota originated as a traditional Albanian dance from Kosovo. It was originally choreographed in Yugoslavia by the Shota professional ensemble from
Pristina, named after the dance. In March 2013, the Assembly of Republic of Kosovo approved a law which makes the Shota ensemble a part of the cultural activities of the National Ensemble of Songs and Dances. Since the time of its inception the community keeps organising events that replicates the dance form Shota and are socially very active in areas of cleanliness, awareness about the dance form and the dress codes related to it. ==References==
