When a shared passion brings people together, the results can go far beyond the studio. Pulse Dance Group returned with a gold medal from the XVI World Folklore Championship “World Folk 2026” in Sveti Vlas — an achievement we are truly proud of.
Under the leadership of Radoslava Dobreva and Miroslav Bachev, the group represented Pulse in the “Modern Folklore Choreography” category with the original Northern Bulgaria dance “Spring Garden,” choreographed by Radoslava Dobreva.
The performance was awarded a gold medal, as well as a diploma for a significant contribution to the preservation and development of world folklore art.
Bulgarian folklore on the world stage
World Folk 2026 brought together music, vocal and dance groups from Bulgaria and a number of countries around the world in Sveti Vlas, including Romania, Moldova, Morocco, Georgia, Israel, Kazakhstan, India and Indonesia.
We are especially proud that the Pulse community was part of this stage too.
More than training. More than dance.
Folk dances at Pulse have long been more than an hour in the weekly schedule. They create friendships, bring emotion and bring together people with a shared passion for movement and Bulgarian traditions. The dancers who represented Pulse at the world championship are part of the folk dance groups at Pulse Bulgaria, Pulse Mladost and Pulse Platinum.
Their achievement shows something we have always believed — when there is the right environment, support and community, an activity can become a true passion, and passion can become an achievement.
45 people, four days and one shared passion
From 27 to 30 August A folk dance camp with 45 participants took place at Grand Hotel Sveti Vlas. Four days dedicated to dance, games, great vibes, shared moments, and well-deserved relaxation by the sea.
The gold medal from World Folk 2026 is a source of pride, but behind it stand much more than a few minutes on stage - rehearsals, persistence, personal time, dedication, and the desire to grow. That is exactly why successes like this are so important to us.
We congratulate Radoslava Dobreva and Miroslav Bachev, as well as all the dancers who represented Pulse on the world stage.
We also thank everyone who is part of our folk dance groups and turns this community into something much bigger than just another training session.
