The East European Folklife Center includes, at its core, two annual week-long summer workshops, one on the west coast and one on the east coast. Each Balkan Music & Dance Workshop brings together the finest available teachers and performers with students of varying levels and experience eager to share the joys of Balkan traditions. With dance instruction, culture corners, instrumental, vocal, and ensemble classes, days of lessons and nights of celebrations, these weeklong workshops have been an unforgettable annual event for a growing and increasingly diverse community on both U.S. coasts.
