About
XoroTroptzi is an all-ages performing ensemble founded in 2012 through the Bulgarian American Cultural Educational Foundation in Los Angeles. They evolved from simple social gatherings between friends to learn traditional dances and grew into the only Bulgarian folk ensemble in Los Angeles. With a mission to preserve and popularize the rich cultural traditions of Bulgarian folk dances, the ensemble is comprised of immigrants and Bulgarian-Americans who acknowledge the strong role of dance and music in their identities. With ethnographic research and traditional costumes guiding their repertoire development, the ensemble performs throughout the country at festivals for the Bulgarian community as well as at other heritage festivals in the USA and Canada for the public.
