Balkan folk dances in Dublin - a dance trip to Thrace

Join me in this active and slightly intensive :) workshop on Bulgarian folk dances on the last day of May. We will focus on dances from the area of Thrace - the land of roses and vast fields in today's Bulgaria. Come on your own or bring friends!

Please note: You will need to bring a pair of soft sole shoes that you will use only in the studio. There is space for changing. Nothing special, trainers are ok or similar that are suitable for physical activity.

Each dance has a basic pattern which I will explain in details and we can practise, then we will connect it in a chain dance. Duration of each dance is 2-3 minutes and you can choose when to participate. We will start with warm up, slow dances, and we will increase the tempo and difficulty.

Everyone is welcome but to set your expectations, this workshop is suitable for people with some rhythmic and coordination skills (nothing professional but who have danced at parties, done some rhythmic activity at some point in their life etc.)

What to expect on the day :

• Basic exercises and music for warm up.
• Break down of and practise some steps / combinations.
• Learn a few dances - some are with very easy combinations, others might be a bit more complicated or you might already know. You can participate as you wish.
• Two parts with a break (approximately 15 min.)
