Dance along or just listen--simple line and circle dance instruction is included on Friday. All profits are donated to charities.

"I heard some beautiful Bulgarian type singing from a trio called Black Sea Hotel.... Back down in the Grand Ballroom the act that pulled this whole festival together, the Zlatne Uste Brass Band, was playing in the middle of the floor, as the dancers circled around them, like a massive swarm of bees." -- David Byrne

"gorgeously funky festival" "...nothing less than a grassroots folk rave. ...who wouldn't want to dance?" -- Richard Gehr (Village Voice and eMusic)

"After about 30 minutes of taking photos and getting some footage for my video, I couldn't help myself but want to join in." -- Mickela Mallozzi
