Vivanov dance group

Dance formation with professional performances of Bulgarian folk dances Vivanov dance group, Chicago

Vivanov dance group has been the home of Bulgarian dance culture in Chicago since 2018. We preserve traditions and pass them on to new generations with love and professionalism.

The beginning of our journey

Vivanov dance group was founded in 2018 by a group of Bulgarian immigrants in Chicago who wanted to maintain their connection with their homeland through dance and music.

We started with a small group of 10 people in a rented hall, but interest in Bulgarian folklore dances quickly grew. Today, we have over 200 students annually and are one of the most active cultural organizations in the Bulgarian community in Chicago.

Our mission is to preserve and promote Bulgarian dance culture, while creating a bridge between generations and different cultures in America.
