What is social dance “Vecherinka”?

“Vecherinka” translates to “late night” in the Bulgarian language. It is our time to enjoy dance, friends, food, music and party! Back in the old days, the “Vecherinka” would take place monthly to allow folks from various communities to get together to socialize. This is typical for not just Bulgarian culture, but pretty much all surrounding Balkan countries as well.

Our partner organizations

We are thrilled to collaborate with sister organizations in the Washington, D.C. area to continue
