The initiative unites the folk art of performers from different parts of the world.

Jantra Dance Ensemble was founded in 1996 by a group of young people of Bulgarian origin, descendants of Bulgarian immigrants. The goal of the dancers is to preserve and popularize Bulgarian traditions, Bulgarian dances and dance culture.

The ensemble has been presenting Bulgarian folklore and culture on stages in Hungary and around the world for 29 years and organizes the festival “Bulfest”.
