MY STORY

The PP and Dance

My name is Teodora Svilenska and I am a high school student in Montreal. I'm studying at Collège Saint-Louis and it's my last year. This is my final project in order to obtain an international diploma. We call it the PP (Personal Project), because everyone chooses the subject as well as the entire project and we have to do it outside of school classes. I decided to create a website because on the internet more people would have the opportunity to discover Bulgarian folklore than on paper. I chose to speak about Bulgaria and its folklore mainly because I am Bulgarian, born in Sofia, and I found that it is a very culturally rich country, but that very few people in Canada know. In addition, I am part of a traditional dance club and it was an opportunity to combine my interest and my project in order to obtain a result that could last a long time.

I have been dancing for 3 years in Monika Valeva's dance club in Montreal. She was a great help for the realization of this project and my development as a dancer and person. The dance club previously named Horo na Megdana was recently renamed to Monika in honor of my exceptional dance teacher who unfortunately passed away this year (2019) due to an accident. Because of this, she couldn't see my finished project despite her wish. This is why I dedicate this website to her. Monika was a wonderful person. Always smiling and wanting to help everyone. May she rest in peace. Thank you for everything.
