We are a friendly group of amateur dancers who meet weekly to practise and preserve the folk dances of the Balkan region, the area of south-east Europe that includes Bulgaria, Serbia, Romania, Greece, Albania and North Macedonia. Our group was formed in the 1960s by ex-prisoners of war from the Balkans, and has run continuously ever since. We celebrated our 50th anniversary in June 2011.

Some of our dancers are beginners, others are very experienced, all are welcoming and keen to share their enthusiasm and expertise. We dance easier dances in the earlier part of the evening and also teach. More difficult dances are saved for later in the evening.

Occasionally we dance at performances or festivals or even weddings, and we host an annual party in January. At these special events we like to dress up in costumes from the Balkan region. Our group has a collections of costumes which can be loaned for the evening.
