This dance is found throughout the Balkans from Turkey to Serbia. It's the 7/8 equivalent of the 3-measure dance US folk dancers call Čoček or Sa. The dance has been taught by many people in the US including Atanas Kolarovksi, John Filcich, Steve Kotansky, Elsie Dunin, Michael Ginsburg, Pece Atanosovski, Ciga Despotović and Camile Brochu. The name comes from the Turkish name Çupirli, which is the Turkish name for the town of Titov Veles.
