There will be classes for both beginners and all other levels. The classes will be in folk dances and singing from Bulgaria and Macedonia, Roma singing, tambourine and tampan.

The following groups will also perform at “Balkanalia”: “Staro Selo”, “Veselyatsi”, “Gora Gora” (Balkan brass band from Colorado). There is also a planned program for children.
