The area on the square "Macedonia" in front of the community center was filled with rhythms and sounds of Latin music and dance. Popular choreographer Alfredo Torres, who visited in Blagoevgrad at the invitation of the dance club "Carat" in  community center " Nikola Vaptsarov 1866" included in the total fiesta salsa, bachata and merengue dancers from the club "Carat" and children from the public. With this dance club “Karat” opened its dance season and showed that professionalism and desire can happen pretty things. Dancing by Alfredo Torres is not a sport or aerobics. He gives for example the salsa, which determined rather as a way of thinking, to practice it for a philosophy of life, comparing it with our “rychenica” or “horo”. This is for Cuban people as a business card, like the popular lately among the Bulgarians in Bulgaria and our communities around the world horo to the song "White Rose." Cubans were founders of salsa, but salsa champions in sport dancing are becoming representatives of Bulgaria, Russia, Italy, USA, adds Torres.

Alfredo Torres likes Bulgaria, working here for years, has its own school of dance, often a jury or instructor in dance television formats. Now he went to Vietnam, where he will be a member of the jury in the Vietnamese version of "Dancing Stars".

“Dream opportunity for “The big stage” became a reality. Day of the travelling came. We were on the plane already. Excitement that we felt could not describe. We arrived at “Heathrow” jammed at the English piano and left to the hotel. On the day of our presentation we were like in heaven.  The dream purpose was to express our love and devotion to dance with two performances on the world stage.                            Thanks to good organization we went on the stage at the right time in program. We gave everything on the stage. This much-awaited performance, these three minutes passed and we were very pleased.

Headed to the locker room, where we waited for our coach. Big smile on her face was a sign of satisfaction from our performance. We were even happier. The assessment of Ms.Gavrilova is very important to us.

We spent another day in Brayton, full of smiles and emotions. The weather wasn`t very nice, but don`t scare us. In the evening we went back to “Heathrow” and left for home airport where we were waited for our parents who owe too much.

In half, our work was done. Implementation of the big girls comes.

We left our own, but our choreographer supported us from a distance. It was time for our performance. All the time behind the stage, we think of our parents, of the smaller kids of the club and especially for Ms. Gavrilova. We were assured that for support of Bulgaria. We went on stage and gave everything. We spent two days devoted entirely to dance. Waving Bulgarian flag with pride, even met in the Bulgarians in the attr city .They wished us luck. Meeting with children form other parts of the world was very exciting for us. That is the value. All these participants were there because like us, love and dance and stage, which display their talents and capabilities.

We came in Bulgaria pleased of the results, that not actually were the most important…
