Balkan folk dances – practice visit
Balkan folk dances – practice visit
Join us on Friday evening at our active dance practice for adults. We have regular practices through April but this will be the last one from the Spring term. You can watch what we learn and how we learn it at this informal and slightly more relaxed evening 🙂 . If you would like – we can teach you one or two of the basic folk dances.
Balkan folk dances are chain dances where no partner is required. There is a basic pattern (of 6 or 8 steps) which repeats in the dance.
Please note – registration closes two days before the event. Send an email and state how many people you are bringing. Check your folders for confirmation reply.

Organiser
I have been teaching Balkan folk dances in Dublin for the last ten years. These chain dances are suitable for all ages and can include as many people as the space allows. The patterns are repetitive.
I learnt the first dances from my parents as a child. Later continued in folk ensembles as a dancer. In 2014 I found the group for Bulgarian folk dances in Dublin. As my interest and contacts grew, I continued my research and expanded my knowledge of the folk dances. I keep finding information and proof how the folk dances are not limited by today’s administrative borders of the Balkan counries but they have roots that are older than contemporary borders.
