FOLK ENSEMBLE O T E K S
Begun in 1983, as a cultural association of the textile factory „Oteks” in Ohrid, Macedonia, ensemble „Oteks” was originally formed by the interested and talented dancers from the employee’s families. In those days the state sponsored the training and touring of this dancers enabling them to grow and increase their repertoire offering original instruments, costumes, suites of specific regional dances and revival of their customs and traditions. In the last couple of years ensemble „Oteks” is self-sponsored due to changes that have occurred.
Ensemble has a professional folklore school where over 150 young members are learning our traditional folklore with professional choreographers and musicians. Their energy, intricate footwork, colorful costumes and warm generous spirits have taken them around the world as ambassadors of Macedonian song and dance.
This ensemble has taken part on many festivals in: Austria, Belarus, USA , Turkey, France, Romania, Portugal, Germany, Netherland and many others.
