folklórny súbor karička-San Diego

V roku 2010 priaznivci folklóru pod vedením Anky Hrabčákovej Hradskej  založili Slovenský folklórny súbor „Karička“ v San Diegu, Kalifornii.  Hlavným cieľom našho súboru je zachovávať a rozvíjať ľudové i kultúrne tradície, zvyky a obyčaje z celého Slovenska a jeho krajanov,a tak pestovať tradičný aj štylizovaný folklór. 
        Súbor Karička sa po prvý krát predstavil našim krajanom na prvom krajanskom folklórnom festivale v San Diegu v roku 2011. Okrem toho nasledovali  dalšie vystúpenia na San Diegovskom jarmoku, na Októberfeste, a na krátkom programe usporiadaným Česko-Slovenským domčekom v San Diegu, kde mal súbor veľmi pozitívnu odozvu.
       Karička je  hlavným jadrom spolku Priateľov Slovenského Folklóru, ktorý organizuje Krajanský folklórny festival v San Diegu.

MORAVA FOLKLORE ENSEMBLE

Morava Folklore Ensemble was established in 1987 as an auxiliary organization of St. George Serbian Orthodox Church. As ambassadors of Serbian culture and heritage, one of its main goals is to increase public awareness of folklore by presenting high quality dance and vocal performances. Dobrila Undheim, Artistic Director, continues the forward movement and expanded involvement in the local community. Dobrila’s vision is to bring the beauty of Serbian folklore circle dances ("kolo") to non-Serb audiences and to expand relationships with other like-minded dance groups. Sava Ninkovic, instructor since 2011, has shared his love of "kolo" with the next generation. Guest instructor, Lazar Ruzicic, on loan to Morava from Talija Artisitic Company in Belgrade, Serbia, has been instrumental in helping preserve the art of folklore. Current Instructor, Sinisa Ristic, is expanding the styling and technicalities of Serbian folk dance. Morava participates in cultural events throughout the United States and has performed worldwide to audiences in the United Kingdom, Australia, Canada, Switzerland and Serbia.
