Miravci (Macedonian: Миравци) is a village in the Gevgelija region of south-eastern part of North Macedonia, located in the Kožuf foothills west of the Vardar River.

Miravci lies on the Skopje-Thessaloniki railway and a few kilometers from the once-named Highway of Brotherhood and Unity that ran the whole length of Yugoslavia.

The hills around the region are covered in Quercus coccifera (Kermes oak -- 'prnar' in Macedonian), as well as wild figs and pomegranates.

to have fled from the Turkish army several centuries ago to form an old village called Petrovo (now Agios Petros) in modern-day Greece.

According to one, the village used to be located higher up in the hills, and was forced to relocate after a particularly bad infestation of insects ("mravi" means "ants" in Macedonian).

A second tale relates that five brothers: Miro, David, Peter, Gabriel and Mile moved to the area and founded the five villages: Miravci, Davidovo, Petrovo, Gabrovo and Miletkovo.

The dance originates in a local tale of a girl Mara who was kidnapped by a Turkish pasha for his harem—her brother Gjuro made a daring foray to rescue her.
