Free open-air dance lessons for Sofia's dance aficionados

From September 8 to 14 2008, the open-air summer stage of Sofia's Borissova gradina will see some of the city's best dance instructors give free dance lessons as a warm-up to Sofia Dance Week, the first international festival for contemporary dance in Bulgaria.

The classes of the so-called Sofia Dance Week Academy will start at 7pm, with every night being dedicated to a different dance style - hip hop, Bulgarian folklore dance, MTV freestyle dance, salsa, tango, belly-dancing and rock.
 
After the lessons the stage will transform into a dance floor for everyone to practise what they have learned or show off their own style.

Taking place from September 22 to 29, Sofia Dance Week is hoping to attract tens of thousands of spectators and become a prominent annual cultural event. Organisers from Edno (One) magazine have managed to engage world class dance companies to perform.

French Compagnie 111 and Centre choregraphique national de Grenoble Jean Claude Gallotta - Groupe Emile Dubois, Ciplak Аyaklar from Turkey together with France's C Dans C, Belgium's Ultima Vez and Italians Aterballetto will stage performances along with Bulgaria's own Arabesque Ballet and Kinesthetic Project.
