Balkanplus welcomes Frank Dowling to Cecil Sharp House to conduct a Balkan half-day dance workshop
and to MC the monthly dance.
We might capriciously call the workshop a "Bulgarian Free Zone" (Frank's suggestion) as we
strive for balance amid a wave of workshops by visiting Bulgarians.
There will be a mix of "proper" teaching and quick run throughs of dances
that will be repeated in the evening and, conceivably, at the forthcoming
SIFD Ken Ward memorial evening in September.
The details and deals are as follows:
As always, we offer an additional discount to Balkanplus season ticket holders.
Please ask for details.
The workshop will take place between 2pm and 6pm in Kennedy Hall
and will cost £10 (£8 for Balkanplus season ticket holders).
No advance booking required but please pencil it in your diary.
Our apologies for upstaging the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee and the Olympic Games, but the big event
in London this year must be the return of the ever
popular Iliana Bozhanova and Todor Yankov (accordion)
with a brand new programme of dances from Bulgaria.
Since their first visit in 2009 they have continued to travel the world and have appeared regularly
on Bulgarian television.
We are offering the customary two daytime workshops and Saturday evening party.
However, the Saturday venue will be in the Presidential Suite at the
London Irish Centre
in Camden Square – not far from Camden Town tube station
and with more than adequate roadside parking.
The Sunday workshop will be at the familiar Cecil Sharp House.
Prices (early booking discount if purchased before 1st July, in brackets):
- London Irish Centre: 50-52 Camden Square London NW1 9XB
- Cecil Sharp House
