THE Queanbeyan Macedonian Dance Group will treat Queanbeyan Multicultural Festival punters to an enriched culture and colourful dance next weekend.With dancers aged from four-years-old to 23, the Macedonian Dance Group, traditionally known as Razigran Makedonka, will perform a 20 minute dance at the Multicultural Festival on Sunday, March 30.
Formed in 1991, the Queanbeyan Macedonian Dance Group have performed not only in Sydney, Melbourne, Wollongong and locally, but have also travelled to Macedonia in 2006 for an overseas tour.
Group choreographer Aleks Celeski said the group was important for the young Macedonian community to preserve and promote their traditional arts.
"There is a large Macedonian community in Queanbeyan and this traditional art is sort of who we are and is part of our culture."
Mr Celeski hopes the Multicultural Festival will give his dancers valuable experience and exposure.
The Queanbeyan Macedonian Dance Group will perform this Saturday and Sunday as part of the National Folk Festival at Exhibition Park, Canberra.
