LOVTCHALIJTCHE | Lovetch | |
A
folk dance!
Is
there anything more beautiful, purer and more cheerful? Movements
that make body and spirit shiver together as a string in the rhythm of
life... More
than 30 years the children in our town keep and popularize the Bulgarian
dancing folklore.
A
successor of this tradition is also the Children's folk dance group "LOVCHALIJCHE".
More than 3 decades the young dancers from Lovech represent with dignity
the Bulgarian folk dances "horo" and "rachenitsa" at
the stages, platforms and squares through the whole country and abroad (in
Russia, Germany, Cyprus, Greece, Algiers, Poland and Turkey.) 'Now
more than 200 kids at the age from 6 to 16 years old build up the image of
this already known in Bulgaria ensemble and make it a symbol
of
the vigorous youth and love towards the Bulgarian national dance.
"LOVCHALIJCHE"
has been rewarded many times with honorary diplomas for its achievements
in the field of dance art not only at the Bulgarian but also at many
foreign folk festivals. Its
repertoire includes folk dances from nearly every ethnographic region of
the country: the free-and-wide vital North-Bulgarian "horo", the
specific (theme-directed) Dobrudja dances that express Bulgarian's love
towards the cultivation of native land, the dynamic men and lyric
women’s performance in the Trakia dances and also the whirlwind in
dynamic respect of the "Shopski" dance.
For
their 30-years tradition the young dancers from Lovech have more than 750
concerts,' which are the result of self-devotional work of trainers and
dancers in many thousands rehearsals. |
