Dance group Zdravec from Tegernsee, Germany, will perform at the 11th Expats Join Hands in Worldwide Dance travelling folklore festival. The festival will take place in BMW Park in Munich, Germany, from May 15 to 17.

Diana Kutevska, a member of the dance group, told BTA's BG World news desk that the group will perform a Thracian dance entitled Zadyavka Po Grozdober [tease/flirt during grape-picking].

Zdravec was established in 2014 by Bulgarians living near Lake Tegernsee, south of Munich. Plamen Petkov, the leader of the Lazarka Ensemble in Munich, facilitated the process. Dancers in Zdravec are aged between 16 and 53.

The Expats Join Hands in Worldwide Dance travelling festival is organized by and for amateur folklore ensembles performing outside Bulgaria. The initiative was launched by the Ot Izvora group in Lyon, France, which hosted both the first edition in 2015 and the tenth edition in 2025. More than 100 dance ensembles and over 4,000 guests are expected at the 11th edition in Munich in May. The Bulgarian News Agency (BTA) is the official media partner of the event and will present all participants.
