Our warm welcome to the 2026 Bolzano Danza Workshops Fellow, Klara Bojadjieva!
Klara is 16 years old and comes from Shtip, North Macedonia.
She began dancing at the age of seven with the Arabesk Ballet Studio in Shtip and later continued her training at the State Music and Ballet School “Ilija Nikolovski-Luj”, where she has just completed her first year of high school studies.
Over the years, Klara has received numerous national and international awards and recognitions. She believes that participating in programmes such as Bolzano Danza Workshops is essential for building professional connections and staying in touch with the wider dance world beyond her country’s borders, where opportunities for young dancers remain limited.
As a Creative Fellowship recipient, Klara’s fellowship includes:
Participation in the Bolzano Danza Workshops from 13–20 July 2026
Three daily courses of 90 minutes each, totalling 15 lessons from Monday to Friday
One week of half-board accommodation organised and funded by Creative Fellowship
Round-trip transportation from the airport closest to Bolzano
24/7 guardianship and support throughout the programme
We would also like to express our sincere gratitude to the Arabesk Ballet Studio and our alumna Victoria Koceva, whose support in promoting this opportunity and communicating with potential applicants in North Macedonia helped make this fellowship possible.
We are looking forward to meeting Klara in Bolzano!
