Dances
Ethnographic regions of Bulgaria
Even nowadays, traditional dances play an important role in the everyday life of Bulgarians living in their homeland or abroad.
Dance styles can vary in a wide range, depending on the region.
They differ in rhythm, composition, costumes, movements and the number of dancers.
Horo is the most often used formation when performers unite in a chain, holding each other's hands, shoulders or belts. In this tight closeness, dancers feel the unifying power of rhythm and their national identity.
