House in KoprivshtitsaEvery 5 years, the picturesque town of Koprivshtitsa, located in the central part of Bulgaria in the Stara Planina, hosts the largest of Bulgaria’s many folk festivals. The best village folklore groups from all over Bulgaria present traditional song, music, dance and customs representing their own local traditions. Held on numerous stages running concurrently on a hill high above the town, the festival offers a tempting sample of the richness of Bulgarian folklore. But it lasts only 4 days…and then it is gone.

For years, many folk music and dance enthusiasts traveling to Bulgaria have wished for a way to experience Bulgarian music and dance at a deeper level. Now there is a way to do that.

This marks the first year that the Academy of Music, Dance & Fine Arts in Plovdiv, Bulgaria, will host an exciting new program oriented toward the interests of non-Bulgarians who wish to further their knowledge and skills in traditional Bulgarian music and dance.
