The dance group "Bulgarians", based in the English city of Worcester, will participate in the local carnival on July 12, 2025. The ensemble includes approximately 30 performers – women, men, and children, who will present authentic Bulgarian folk dances to the British audience.

The leader Katya Kurteva shared that the formation regularly receives invitations for performances not only in the Worcester area, but also in other British cities, as well as at festivals in Spain. Her main goal is to preserve and promote Bulgarian cultural traditions among compatriots living outside the country's borders.

Participation in the carnival represents another opportunity for the group to introduce the foreign audience to the richness of Bulgarian folklore. Through their dances, the performers manage to convey the emotionality and spirit of authentic Bulgarian rhythms and movements.
