A nation that can dance horo in time of pandemic, cannot be defeated, say jokingly "Azbukari Association", organizer of the initiative "Awakening with Choro" on the occasion of the National Day of Bulgaria.
At 12 o'clock Bulgarian time (GMT+2) on March 3 thousands of Bulgarian expatriates are expected to join in a dance simultaneously in town squares, community centers, cultural centers, schools or simply on the street or in their homes to show that the Bulgarian spirit and traditions are alive in every part of the planet.
