We never made it, spent 45 minutes trying to locate the venue on Alabin only to eventually finding out (from Costa Coffe employee) that it was around the corner OFF Alabin. By the time we found it we were over 20 minutes late! You need to provide better directions for future purchasers. Would have loved to have done it...oh well..money down the pan.

We loved this hour of dancing. It was beautifully run with rest time between energetic dances, for photo opportunities dressed in traditional costumes. I would recommend this highly to anyone who enjoys dancing. Thank you Daisy

We liked the experience of learning to dance with the teacher, she was very pedagogical and allowed us to put on the traditional outfits (very pretty). It was a great way to discover more about Bulgarian culture and its traditions.

A very fun time with a dedicated dancing trainer. She is a tip top teacher and we felt warmly welcomed :)

Very well made and frankly somewhat fancy dance costumes we got to try on while dancing. We also learned three types of folk dances from three different regions. (how much you get to dance in the lesson depends on the learning speed of the group) Overall it was a wonderful cultural experience. Teacher was very nice and very encouraging. Thank you!

it was a fun activity to dress up and dance a few traditional folk dances - we didn't remember all the steps but it was still fun

Excellent. So much fun. Perfect for our anniversary celebration. Dressing up, dancing and Instagram worthy photos and videos make it well worth the effort.
