MACEDONIAN DANCE
PRESENTATION ON ATANAS KOLAROVSKI

Fusae was born in Oita, Japan.  She began folkdancing as a college student in Tokyo, engaging in a broad array of international dances.  In the mid-1970's, after her graduation, her interest focused on Balkan dancing.  She began traveling abroad to learn more about the dances and their cultures. She has studied dance in Romania and Macedonia and has taken additional classes in Serbia, Bulgaria, Greece and Turkey.  

For the last thirty five years, fusae has regularly taken foreign dance teachers on tour in Japan where they have taught workshops and weekend camps throughout the country. She moved to Sacramento in 1984, but returns to Japan three or four times a year for the tours. She was invited to camps throughout Canada and United States to teach as an assistant to Atanas Kolarovski, the now-legendary Macedonian dancer and choreographer.
