The Bulgarian Folk Dance Ensemble "Zharava" will perform several dances from different ethnographic regions in Bulgaria. One suite of dances is from the Western part of Bulgaria,the "shope ethnographic region" characterized by highly complicated uneven rhythms and elaborate footwork. The dance is called "Na Megdana" and represents the dancing around the village square, which is historically characterized as the entertainment venue for Bulgarians. The villagers and their guests usually have gathered in the village square to meet, greet, celebrate and dance. The composition includes several unique dances with different uneven and syncopated rhythms in rythms 7/8, 9/8 and 2/4.

The second dance is from the Dobrujan Etnographic region of Bulgaria, (North East) and is characterized by an intricate dance moves and footwork characteristic of the region. Each move has been influenced from the traditional work and labor related operations in the field of the Bread basket of Bulgaria. The moves are either associated with the sowing of the grain seeds or with harvesting the crops. The dance’s name is “shinitsi” (wooden cut cylinder shaped box), which is the name of the props used to carry the seeds in the field when the season for sowing is underway.
