Balkan Night Dance Parties in Columbus, Ohio

What's New

9/14/2009 - New 2009-2010 dance schedule.

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.

The group on April 28, 2007.

We will have snacks! (Please bring something to share, but no alcohol.)
We will have your favorite dance music! (Bring your favorite CD's or tapes.)

We can play CD's, cassettes, iPods, and computer files on our sound system!

Blinking lights.Not too loud.

Sometimes we have live music!

Electricity not needed.

Almost every dance, members from local bands bring instruments and play a couple of tunes. We may even put on a party again with a professional Balkan dance band. Check this page often. if you want to be notified of any big party plans.
