Sārbă derives from Sărbătoare (celebration).
Sărbătoare = From serba (variant sărba) or from Vulgar Latin root *servatoria, from Latin servō
Sārba is a dance connected with Balkans, but don't originate from Serbs. The name Serb itself was in the past just an umbrella term for every orthodox Balkan Slav (Macedonian, Bulgarian, Serb, Montenegrin).
Bulgarian and Macedonian users (especially PAGANE, Archduke and Crn Vlah) would disagree. xD
Very interesting toponyms :)

Serbs were known as Vlachs for centuries, and Bulgarians/Macedonians as Serbs. Cool story!
Vlachs were one of several social castes in medieval Serbia, not Romance speaking people.
Romance speaking Balkanites never call themselves Vlachs. Social vlachs of medieval Serbia were aware of their vlach caste (but also they are ethnic Serbs), like dentists call themselves dentists.
Well it is a nice dance i like the fast paste:thumb001:
