The National Song and Dance Ensemble "Shota" was established in 1948 as one of the first artistic and cultural institutions in Kosovo. For fifteen years this ensemble has operated as society and afterwards as a semi-professional ensemble.

While in March of 1964 by decision of the Assembly of Kosova, "Shota" gains the status of professional ensemble.

"Shota" has played a crucial role in the preservation, cultivation and development of the Albanian song and danceas well as bringing genuine national cultural values such as authenticity of costumes, authentic melodies and exotic unique dances.

"Vallja e Shotes"

It is an idyllic dance for a girl and a boy, showing their interest in each other. At first the girl is teasing the boy, then the boy shows as though he is not interested in her, but in the end the boy receives the scarf of the girl, showing her love for him and sometimes the girl receives the scarf of the boy in return.

The dance and tune "Shota" is often related to the Kosovar female freedom fighter Shotë Galica, wife of the freedom fighter Azem Bejt Galica. For Kosovo and Albania she has a status as one of the people who fought for independence of the Albanians in the year 1919 and onwards and was declared a Peoples Heroin by the Albanian government after WWII. Despite the rules of the "Kanuni i Lekë Dukagjinit /The Code of Lekë Dukagjini" (a set of traditional Albanian laws), she dressed up as a man and fought alongside her husband.
