Admission $12

Daniela was very warmly received at the 2005 Stockton Folk Dance Camp. She will not be back in California again until July 2008 (for Stockton Camp), so this will be your last chance to see her for more than a year! She will be teaching Bulgarian, Macedonian and Serbian dances.

Daniela Ivanova is an accomplished, professional folk dance teacher and performer. She is also a very gifted choreographer and a researcher of the South Slavic folk dance culture. Daniela had degrees in philosophy, literature and cultural studies from the Institute of Music and Choreography, Sofia, and from the Sofia University St. Kliment Ohridski. She was a full time teacher in choreography and co-founder of the Medena Pitka school ensemble. She was artistic director of the Tropanka folk dance group (New Bulgarian University), choreographer of the Zornitza University students' folk ensemble, and a choreographer of student ensembles in Bulgaria, Banat and Besarabia. With these ensembles she toured France, Israel, Romania, Malta, Belgium, the Netherlands, Slovakia, and Mongolia. Her talent as an artist helps Daniela Ivanova to be a very good educator as well. Her fine singing and very charming personality make her workshops more fun than work.

Vassil will be accompanying Daniela on gajda during the workshop. He is well-known around the Bay Area for his warmth and wonderful playing on many memorable occasions over the last several years.

Please wear soft-soled shoes that you use only for dancing.
