Angelovata

This is a dance from Gorna Lipnitsa (North Bulgaria). It is a dance for both men and women, holding palms in a circle. The performers are randomly arranged – no pattern is followed (man, woman, man, etc). Men dance with a rather characteristic “jumpy” fashion compared to women, and particularly the squats which - depending on the mood - are performed in a variety of ways.

Presented by Daniela Ivanova in 2005. View pdf here.
