“With boundless dedication, inspiration and love, I teach my students Bulgarian dances and songs and the traditions of our ancestors. I plant in their hearts the love for our folklore and homeland, and I help it grow. My greatest satisfaction is to see the harmony and confidence in their steps, their trust in each other, their friendships; to see them proud of our heritage, spreading their love and joy to our audience.“
