About me

Boyko Andonov born in Sofia 1981.
Currently living in the UK, I teach and organize workshops in Bulgarian Dance. I try to introduce Bulgarian dances which are as authentic as possible through moves and displays.  I enjoy trying out choreographies too, but all in the traditional manner of chained dancing and improvisation.

From a historical point of view, dancing use to play an important role in Bulgarian life. It has been used in many occasions for example weddings and other celebrations, after church etc. Nowadays Bulgarian dancing has lost a bit of its social importance, but it has developed as a performing art, which brings a new style based on the old tradition.

My experience in Bulgarian Dance started at “Rosna Kitka Ensamble” which I joined as a  child(1987). Latter I joined "Academic Folklore Ensamble" (1995) until I moved to London(2002). In London I joined “Tanec” (2004), a Bulgarian Dance Group, where we work mainly on choreographies for performances.
