History

St. Sava’s folklore tradition started at the present Issaquah site shortly after the building was purchased in December of 1991. Cheryl Spasojevic was the very first kolo instructor and choreographer. Cheryl had been interested in Serbian music and dancing for many years and had extensive knowledge of both. The group mainly danced at church events, enriching the programs on Vidov Dan and St. Sava.

Mike Jankovich took over as instructor in the fall of 1992. Mike taught many of our young people kolo steps and lively dances, which the group performed at church events. Mike was very active at the church but managed to find the time to teach kolo.

In 1993 Vesna Radojevic taught dances she had learned as a dancer in the Morava folklore group at St. George in San Diego. The group learned intricate dances they performed at church functions at St. Sava and in our Serbian church in Vancouver.

Mike again took over teaching for a time, until the fall of 2003, when Mary Jane Vujovic started a class for our tiniest dancers; Alexandra Radojevic taught the children up to the teen years and Vesna Radojevic returned to teach a new group of teenagers. The teens chose the name Drina for their group and began learning suites of kolo dances. Father Ilija Balach was instrumental in finding beautiful Serbian costumes for the dancers. The dancers performed at our church, the University of Washington Slavic Fest, Serbian churches in Vancouver, Portland, Butte and San Diego. The Drina folklore group participants are learning new suites at the present time and looking forward to more trips to other parishes to dance and make lasting friendships with other dancers and parishioners.

St. Sava Choir History


The church choir started in the winter of 2000 under the direction of Dan Cekarmis. Rudy and Betty Marich gave the choir a boost by donating the keyboard for choir practice. In 2001 Vjera Melton took over the duties as choir director. Since its inception the choir has learned the entire responses of the Liturgy from the first to the last Amin. The choir has added several variations of the antiphons, communion songs, Lord’s Prayer and hymns to the Theotokos (Irmos) and as well as other songs to the choir books. In addition the choir has learned the Sunday Resurrection Troparions, Kontakions, Prokeimenons, Glorys and Alleluias from the Serbian Book of Eight Tones. The choir has started to learn secular songs as well. Our hopes are that sometime in the future we will be able to join with other church choirs in the Serbian Singing Federation.
