Ludo Mlado is a semi-professional dance group based in Boston, MA. The Bulgarian choreographers Petar Petrov and Marieta Mircheva lead the group at cultural events in Boston and around the world. By training dancers and showcasing performances at cultural events, the troupe endeavors to preserve and spread awareness of the rich dance traditions of Bulgaria and the Balkan people. Ludo Mlado will perform five different pieces, including a Northeast Bulgarian dance that celebrates harvest season, a spring dance that Bulgarians from the Thrace Valley typcially perform and “Return to the Innocents,” a medley of old Slavonic and traditional music and dance representing love and passion.
