The Laguna Festival is one of Southern California’s premier annual folk dance events.  You can bet all your friends will be there.  You should be too!\n \nInstructors\nWe are proud to announce that our teachers this year are Daniel Sandu and Anna Angelova. \nDaniel Sandu\nDaniel Sandu Daniel Sandu was born in Bucharest in 1967 and began dancing with Romanasul ensemble at age six. As a child\, he accompanied the Romanian delegation to a world dance ensemble in Cuba (1978)\, and at age 18 became a professional dancer with Rapsodia Romana (1985) in Bucharest. \nSince 1992 he has danced with Het Internationaal Danstheater in Amsterdam. He obtained a bachelor of dance education degree in 2003 from the Rotterdamse. \nA fulltime resident of the Netherlands\, he is currently on staff at the folk dance house\, Terpsichoré\, in Amsterdam\, where his course “Rhythm\, Romania\, Roma” (3R) ranks among their most popular offerings. Read more… \n\nAnna Angelova\nAnna Angelova Anna grew up in a small town in Northern Bulgaria where the lively local festivities (sabors) and traditional ceremonies kindled her interest in folklore at an early age. Anna’s dance adventures started when she joined the town’s folk dance ensemble where she learned from esteemed choreographers and performed along experienced dancers throughout her youth years. \nUpon coming to the United States to further her education\, Anna was introduced to the internationally acclaimed Ahmet Lüleci’s Collage Dance Ensemble: a unique experience that unlocked passion and appreciation for the greater Balkan magic and beyond. The eight years Anna spent performing with Collage on local and national stages were instrumental for her growth as a dancer – from professional attitude to stage presence to polished style to authentic connection with our ancestors through Ahmet’s vibrant choreographies. In 2022\, Anna was honored to teach Bulgarian Dance at Ahmet’s annual World Camp in Rock Hill\, New York.
