Traditional Bulgarian Dance
Mostly simple Bulgarian folk dances, to beautiful and/or lively music. Most
of these dances are commonly done in recreational folk dancing. All the
dances we will do are line dances. No partner is necessary.
Some of the dances possible (but please note: we can't possibly get to all
of them): Baldazka, Brestacka Rucenica, Cekurjankino, Daicovo, Dospatsko,
Eleno Mome, Gankino, Ivanice, Liliano Mome, Karamfil, Katushe Mome,
Maricensko, Narodno, Neda Voda, Oo Nasheto Selo, Paidusko, Postupano, Pravo,
Rusi Kosi, Petrinino, Radomirsko, Racenica, Sedi Donka, Trgnala Rumjano,
Triti Pati, Tropanka*2, Vrapceto, Zalna Majka, and Zn Zn Ganke Le. Which
ones we do will depend on the temperament of the people who come. I'll ask,
"Now, what would you like, a fast or slow dance?"
Bulgarian folk dances are normally line dances, with hands joined either in
low "V" hold, belt hold (na pojas), crossed in front or "W" hold. Footwork
can vary from fast intricate steps (as in the Šop Region) to slow sustained
cat-like movements (as in some of the dances from the Pirin region). Dances
from the north have some of the characteristics of dances from southern
Romania, just across the Danube, i.e. fast crossing steps, dances from the
Pirin Region in the West have much in common with dances from Yugoslav
Macedonia, and dances from the Šop region round Sofia have similar
characteristics to those from eastern Serbia. This illustrates how
boundaries of dance styles do not necessarily conform with politically
imposed nationally.

Folk Ensemble Bistritsa
The Bistritsa Ensemble with leader Dina Ancheva exists since
1939. Its goal is to study, recreate and extend the inherited
folk's art of the village of Bistritsa. The Ensemble comprises
singers, dancers and musicians.
Its core performers are the famous group of polyphonic singers
called "The Old Women from Bistritsa". Its repertoire consists
of remnants of ancient songs taken from the local folklore and
comprising about 300 rituals, work song and horo-leading songs.
Talented young dancers perform original dances of Bistritsa, as
well as dances from other ethnographic regions. The main effort
of the artistic leader is to keep the style and the nature of
the local dances; to capture the original movements and their
corresponding musical expression. The main goal of the Ensemble
is: to show the art created by the folk's genius throughout the
ages in its purest form as far as the scenic rules would allow
it.
The Bistritsa Ensemble has had performance tours in Hungary,
Germany, England, France and in the U.S.A.
