Dear Friends of Balkan Music and Dance,

Summer is always full of festivals and other events worth attending, but our Bulgarian Folk Music & Dance Seminar, which takes place in the beautiful ancient city of Plovdiv, Bulgaria, is unique because of the way tradition comes to you. Our rich, one-of-a-kind program couples the teaching expertise of instructors from the Academy of Music, Dance and Fine Arts in Plovdiv with the music and dance wisdom of tradition bearers from around the country.

• Dance classes are taught by “village masters” from various ethnographic regions in Bulgaria. Different groups of dancers and musicians are featured throughout the week, teaching dances and songs from their own villages.

• Instrument classes are taught by some of the finest teachers in the country. Lessons on traditional Bulgarian instruments (gudulka, kaval, tambura, tupan and gaida) are offered to both beginners and experienced students, while modern instrument classes (accordion, violin and clarinet) are oriented toward players who already have some experience.

• Singing classes are very inclusive and welcome students at all levels. Songs and singing styles from various regions are presented, focusing both on voice production and ornamentation.

All classes are translated from Bulgarian into English. A Bulgarian language class, as well as some optional evening social activities offer you an opportunity to widen your experience of Bulgaria.

The Bulgarian Folk Music & Dance Seminar, now in its 9th year, is especially designed for non-Bulgarians (or Bulgarians interested in connecting with their "roots" music and dance) who want a more in-depth opportunity to learn Bulgarian traditional instruments, singing styles, and dance than is normally possible for groups or individuals traveling to Bulgaria. Please refer to our website for more information.
We are continuing our special 15% discount for members of the East European Folklife Center (www.eefc.org).

Participants from past years have raved about their wonderful experiences at the Seminar. You can get a glimpse of this from the many photographs, student comments, and information from previous Seminars that is available on our website (www.folkseminarplovdiv.net). You can also take a look at the Seminar's new Facebook page, Bulgarian Folk Music & Dance Seminar, Plovdiv (or just search Plovdiv Folk Seminar).

Registration may be completed online. Payment for the Seminar can only be made by bank transfer or on-site payment; details are on the website.

Feel free to contact us with any questions - we speak English, Bulgarian, Greek, German and Russian! Please mark these dates and consider becoming a part of our big family!
