After each edition, the network of dancers promoting “folk” continues to grow across Europe. Our mission is also to maintain year-round exchanges between the different group leaders: helping each other with course structures, sharing teaching techniques, assisting in the creation of new groups, and more. We also maintain regular connections with the main groups based in Armenia and in various regions around the world.
This network is coordinated by active members from Avand (Paris, FR), Nemrut (Mechelen, BE), Gandzak (Brussels, BE), Gamar (Geneva, CH), and Tumanyan School (Munich, GE).
