It was formed in order to collect and nurture Macedonian traditional songs and dances, folk instruments and costumes, as well as to present the most valuable forms from the rich treasury of the Macedonian people through appropriate artistic expression. Thanks to all the generations that built and implemented the founder’s clearly defined program activities, the ensemble developed over the years and grew into a respectable institution. During these 75 years, the ensemble has performed on the most prestigious stages around the world and has over 5,000 unforgettable concerts.
The repertoire of “Tanec” includes over 90 choreographies and several hundred vocal and instrumental pieces, through which the ensemble presents different musical and choreographic traditions from all the regions where rich Macedonian folklore originated. The fund “Tanec” contains a unique collection of 3,000 authentic costumes of exceptional value and beauty, so every performance of the ensemble is a special audio-visual experience.
