BALKAN & BEYOND FOLK DANCE HOLIDAY with

Lee Otterholt (Folk dances from the Balkans & Beyond)

Gergana Panova (Folk dances from Bulgaria & Beyond)

THURSDAY 1st – TUESDAY 6th FEBRUARY 2024

I am delighted to welcome two world renowned and hugely popular teachers who will be new to many of us.  Lee Otterholt has a extensive repertoire and will teach dances from the Balkans and from his International repertoire.  Gergana Panova is a specialist of Bulgarian folkdance and also teaches International folk dance.  We also have two brilliant musicians, Filip and Stoyan from Macedonia.  It is worth being there just to see and hear them singing and playing their traditional folk instruments.  So we can look forward to a rich variety of folk dances and music with teachers who make learning folkdance and music a great pleasure.  In free time you can enjoy walking or sight-seeing in Devon’s stunning coastal scenery, with many places of interest nearby.  All this takes place in a lovely family-owned hotel overlooking the sea on the south-west Devon coast, with a large sprung ballroom and an award winning chef.  We look forward to meeting old friends and making new ones, together with plenty of music, dancing, and delicious food.

RIVIERADANCE! is much more than just a dance course!

 The holiday is 5 night’s full board in comfortable en-suite accommodation, arriving on Thursday from 2 pm and leaving on Tuesday after breakfast.

If you haven’t tried Balkan dancing before, be warned – it can be addictive!
