Dance Party Bulgaria - Balkan Fever

This is how you do a dance party in the Bulgat - everybody dancing the 'horo' outside.  

One of the Balkan dance troupes invited to perform at the Balkan Dance Fest.  

All Bulgarians know these dances, and it is the accepted practice for everyone to join in.   

Closing the circle.  

In motion....

These dances are always hand in hand.  

There were a number of other Sofian schools taking part in the festivities. 

The traditional costumes add another layer of beauty to the dance.  

The chain of linked dancers is one of the staples of Balkan dancing.  

Some of the troupes came with incredible head decorations.  

 Enjoying the dance. 

Starting the circle.
