“Folklore ensemble Rodolyubie – Kyustendil”, was created on August 15, 2011, by dedicated dancers of all ages who pay their hearts to the Bulgarian folk people and dances. They consistently learn complex steps of Bulgarian authentic and stage dances.

Thus, day after day, month after month, and year after year with artistic director Simeon Vassev and choreographer Maestro Academic Vasil Vasilev, the ensemble creatively thrives.

The dancers of the ensemble are proud winners of numerous gold statuettes and medals and first, second and third places. They are proud World, Balkan, and National Champions of the Republic of Bulgaria!

They are always ready to present their country at international folklore festivals and forums, always seeking to preserve the trust of Bulgarians towards them.

More than 170 are dancers in the dance age groups of the ensemble. They are all presented with costumes kept and kept for decades.

The art of the ensemble goes beyond the borders of Bulgaria into the Republic of North Macedonia, the Republic of Serbia, and the Hellenic Republic.
