Weekly rehearsals

Find the group that fits you

Every week we get together to have fun, learn old and new horo from across Bulgaria, and sometimes even try a dance from a neighbouring country. Come as you are — no experience or partner required.

  • Friday
    19:00 – 21:00Het Koorenhuis (1.16)

    Adult group

    Mixed level

    Popular and regional horo, new dances and old favourites — from easier to harder. Everyone's welcome; the more dancers, the merrier!

  • Sunday
    9:30 – 10:15Danshuis Nitsanim

    Children's group

    On selected Sundays

    Playful first steps in folk dance for our youngest dancers, on selected Sundays through the season.

  • Sunday
    10:15 – 11:15Danshuis Nitsanim

    Beginners group

    First steps

    The very first steps, right and left, a small group with personal attention — then you flow into the larger mixed group.

  • Sunday
    10:30 – 12:30Danshuis Nitsanim

    Mixed level 1

    Easy → medium

    The most-loved popular horo and their variations, working from easier towards harder. A little dance base helps — the more dancers, the merrier.

  • Sunday
    11:15 – 13:15Danshuis Nitsanim

    Mixed level 2

    Medium → challenging

    Popular and specific regional horo, more complex variations and combinations, with a focus on style, technique and expression. A solid dance base and musicality are needed.
