Classic Balkan Dances: Workshop with Judy Silver
2025-09-11 19:00 - 21:15
Dance instructor Judy Silver

JUDY SILVER teaches classic folk dances from Macedonia and Bulgaria at this fun workshop in Brooklyn Heights.

Judy has taught international folk dancing in the Toronto area since 1973. She focuses on the “oldies” – classic dances from the Balkans, Eastern Europe, Israel, and elsewhere.

For decades, Judy has co-run the Toronto International Folk Dance Club’s weekly in-person class, and she founded Village Folk Ensemble, a well-regarded performance troupe.

During the COVID pandemic, Judy started a highly-successful weekly virtual folk dance group that is still ongoing. She has also led dancing for various US & Canadian virtual dance groups.

Light refreshments provided. Hope to see you there!
