Desi was a brilliant teacher, myself and my sister had a fantastic evening learning dances with her! We learned so much about the Bulgarian culture & history, and the dancing was brilliant. Desi was so calm, patient and complimentary of us both. We felt so relaxed and had so much fun. Definitely recommend this activity☺️ Thank you so much! - Elysia & Macy
