Balkan Night Dance Parties in Columbus, Ohio

What's New

Added live music for January 28.

A party atmosphere will prevail with live and recorded music, your requests, and non-stop folk dancing on a wooden dance floor. We do folk dances from the Balkan countries, including Bulgaria, Macedonia, Greece, Croatia, Serbia, Romania, Turkey, and Albania. We also do some dances from nearby Armenia, Hungary, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Russia, and sometimes Israel, Sweden, and Denmark, which are far away, but have fun dances.

Each party has a theme. Feel free to dress according to the theme, or just come as you are. We'll also be teaching dances occasionally and spontaneously during the evening. If there's something you want taught, please ask.
