Folklore Ensemble "Matija Gubec" from Karlovac was founded in 1936. Through its rich and long history, the Ensemble has changed its name and the space in which it was located several times. Through their work, its members have represented Croatia throughout the world and won numerous awards. Although they did not have the funds secured and they had to earn the necessary money by performing, the Ensemble had been involved in humanitarian work. Throughout history, thousands of members have gone through the Ensemble and several sections have been established, each of which with its own leader. The Ensemble performs choreographies from all Croatian regions, and also some that originate outside the borders of the Republic of Croatia. In addition to dancers and singers, the Ensemble also has their own tamburitza section that accompanies them by playing tamburas, as well as other traditional instruments. Every year, “Matija Gubec” organizes the IFF (International Folklore Festival), and brings it to a higher level every time, which is confirmed by their guests who come from all over the world. Today, the Ensemble has 70 members who are ready to perform 32 choreographies. They are active throughout the year, and hold more than 25 rehersals per month. Their wish is to preserve the spirit of folklore and transfer it to young people. This paper presents several original Karlovac region dances (Drmeš, Đikalica, Polka and Swing) performed by the Ensemble. Their common points are their cheerful nature, uncomplicated singable melodies, and simple harmony. All dances are performed by Ensemble dancers accompanied by the tambura section. Original songs (Ej, tiho pliva žitarica lađa, Oj, korano, Sneg i kiša pada and Šuma mala ti nemaš lugara) region are also shown. Most of them are played by the playing section accompanying the singing section. All the songs depict the past everyday life and describe the landscape of the area. Featured in this paper are also the folk costumes (Turanj, Draganić and Rečica) used by the Ensemble when performing the repertoire of the Karlovac region. The Ensemble owns 250 sets of folk costumes that are partially reconstructed and partly original. They are carefully guarded and maintained, and some of them are even seen as museum artefact.
