Exciting dance news...

Nina Kavadjikova, one of the best and most knowledgeable Bulgarian dancers in the world, will be in the Chicago area next weekend. We are in the proce ss of setting one or more dance workshops for Saturday, August 9, 2008. Nina was formerly a soloist with the Bulgarian National
Folk Ensemble "Trakiya", taught at the prestigious Academy for Music and Dance Arts in Plovdiv (the top level of such institutions in Bulgaria), and much sought after world-wide as one of the finest Bulgarian dancers. Renowned for her exquisitely elegant and dynamic, Nina Kavardjikova is simply the finest Bulgarian woman dancer that we have ever seen. She is also a patient teacher with an excellent command of English. The U.S. and, particularly, the Chicago area, now has a growing pool of former professional dancers from Bulgaria, many of them excellent and active
in leading groups and teaching workshops. However, even among this august group, Nina distinguishes herself in her unparalleled level of talent, experience, and qualifications, both artistic and academic. We believe that as a dancer and teacher, she is simply in a class of her own an d are most excited about this opportunity to work with Nina, who is coming directly from Europe and who will not be teaching any other workshops
elsewhere.

The Bulgarian dance workshops will be aimed at the intermediate to advanced levels with an emphasis on styling. Exact time. place, and exact number of workshops to be determined. However, if there are to be two workshops then the price will be $25 for both or $15 for one. If there are
to be three workshops, then it will be $35 for all three workshops. $25 for any two. and $15 for one workshop. For more information please contact: balkanske_igre@yahoo.com
