SUMMARY:Laguna Folk Dance Festival 2026
DESCRIPTION:Clubhouse 2 Southern California’s premier folk dance festival!  Dance workshops\, parties with live music\, the famous Sunday Dance Concert\, ice cream social\, happy hour… what’s not to like? 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.

She specializes in Armenian dance and works as a choreographer. Tineke conducts workshops for students at various levels\, beginners to professional\, and has taught classes in international folk dance\, Dutch and Armenian dances in many countries around the world. Her main focus is to break down complicated steps and movements to basic elements and slowly ‘rebuilding’ them to the original dance form. This skill is part of her worldwide success and is combined with a vast knowledge of Armenian dance and culture. \nSince 1985 she has regularly visited Armenia to study folklore at the Pedagogic Institute and Choreographic School in Yerevan. A part of each research trip was devoted to working with several amateur groups in Armenia and doing research on costumes. Two of those research trips were sponsored by the Dutch government. On several occasions Tineke visited the USA to observe the dances performed by the Armenian communities there.

During this interval\, the group performed 47 different evening shows. Part of this job involved several months of dance research each year in order to prepare for these programs. \nMaurits has traveled extensively in his dance research that has emphasized the Roma culture and those in the Caucasus. These travels have included India\, Pakistan\, Turkey\, Russia\, England\, France\, Armenia\, Azerbaijan\, Georgia\, Ossetia\, Dagestan\, and Cherkassy. He has also choreographed many dances. \nIn the last several years\, Maurits has been teaching often with Tineke\, and this has included workshops in Taiwan\, Hong Kong\, Singapore\, and Malaysia.
