A Wonderful Cultural Experience - Very well made and frankly somewhat fancy dance costumes we got to try on while dancing. We also learned three types of folk dances from three different regions. (how much you get to dance in the lesson depends on the learning speed of the group) Overall it was a wonderful cultural experience. Teacher was very nice and very encouraging. Thank you!

Great little history and culture lesson! - It was super fun, very good cardio. Loved learning about the differences in clothing depending where you are in Bulgaria. Was a good history lesson too, made my time in Sofia worth it. The dances are great and easy, will hopefully use these skills at Balkan weddings! Instructor was lovely! Wearing the clothes was also fun, made it easy to dance in.

A super fun, unique experience in Sofia. - So fun! The lesson was a blast. The teacher was very patient and supportive. It's a no pressure, cute environment to connect with bulgarian culture. Obviously, the clothes were a total hoot. The whole group loved it!

Funny and typical - We liked the experience of learning to dance with the teacher, she was very pedagogical and allowed us to put on the traditional outfits (very pretty). It was a great way to discover more about Bulgarian culture and its traditions.
