More About Us
We've been dancing weekly since 1979 for fun, culture, exercise, and socializing. The dances we teach and dance come from all over the world. We focus on dances of the Balkan countries and their neighbors (Bulgaria, Croatia, Serbia, Romania, Greece, Turkey, Israel, & Hungary), but we also do dances from Scandinavia, England, Japan, Africa, and other places. Come and join us some Friday night!
We also have a performing/teaching group called Bistra Voda ("Clear Water", or Eau Claire, in Bulgarian). Contact us if you're interested in having Bistra Voda perform and/or teach folk dancing at your event.
