Bulgarian Dance Events in the NE?

This is from my AI buddy....in Silistra

Light Force Dance Studio: A creative space focused on hip-hop and urban dance styles located at the Pirotska 5 Event Center. They hold regular group sessions, such as their Junior 2 group which meets every Monday at 16:00 and Friday at 17:30.

Ensemble for Folklore Songs and Dances "Silistra": Based at the "Dorostol - 1870" Community Center, this ensemble preserves the traditional folklore of the Dobrudzha region.

Horotropnica (Хоротропница): A local club dedicated to Bulgarian folk dances (horo) that actively performs and unites different generations through traditional rhythm.

Istar Dance Hall (Танцова заала "Истър"): Offers folk dance classes for various age groups, including special groups for those aged 55+.

Thanks. I was also hoping to find local events that I see on YouTube.

In Plovdiv every Sunday in the park they dance as an example but I have no idea how to find them even with Google and far too far away.

My village has nothing as I reckon at least 90% if not more are pensioners.

I think I will try and see if I get a response on the National Folklore channel.

Thanks again, I will check those out.

I'm surprised there isn't something local. Our village is also 90% pensioners, it doesn't have a dance group but there is a singing group, and whenever there's a local event, out comes the accordion and circle dancing is inevitable. Our nearest small town has active dance groups and classes.

Maybe a local Facebook group might be able to help you find something?

Do you have a village notice board?

I searched for a local FB group but I couldn’t find anything at all for the north east. Might have to search in Bulgarian and see if I get better luck. Our village certainly doesn’t seem at all like the others I read about. The most life is centred round the cafe where they sit all day. There was a restaurant but that’s been closed for a few years I think. Never seen anything go on in the square. Community centre is not used at all, just a small office.

I'm so sorry! Our cafe is busy, but the cultural centre/ community centre is very active and probably busier. Yet its only a small village now, population no more than 200.

I think for the local FB groups, yes, to find out what's really going on, search in Bulgarian. Otherwise all you get is expat or property sales groups.

I'm so blessed with my wonderful neighbour, who has got me involved with so many things.

No, the posters put up at cafe mostly refer to advertising for beer offers 😃

LOL, that sounds about right for the cafe! Our village information board is in the kmetstvo, near the post office room.
