Balkan folk dances in Dublin – workshop and demo
Balkan folk dances in Dublin – workshop and demo
Join me to learn some popular folk dances from Bulgaria and surrounding countries. The folk dances from the Balkans that I will teach are chain dances suitable for almost all ages (adults). Some are slow and easy, others are more dynamic and complicated. This workshop is suitable for people who have done some rhythmic activities in their life and are coordinated. Please bring clean shoes to use only in the studio and wear comfortable clothes that allow free movements. In the second part you will have the opportunity to listen to live music and watch some dances for advanced.

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.
