Dobrudzanski Buenek

Bulgaria

This dance comes from a place in Bulgaria called Dobrudzanska and is a well wishing dance for the coming year. A group of women would go from door to door in the village to sing and dance this song. It was usually performed on St Lazarus Day.

There are many versions of this dance.This is one of them.

PERFORMANCE NOTES: A slight rocking motion helps manage the scuff steps more easily as we build up the speed – as well as keeping the steps small. This was suggested in one of the versions Connie so generously sent.

Each section starts with the Right foot.

There is no reference to this dance on U tube - July 2018.
