I remember that our choir in St. Petersburg also taught dancing under the guidance of teacher Daskalov. It’s great that they keep the tradition alive in Greece.

Interesting, Georgy. In one parish choir in Krasnodar we also had a teacher with a similar surname - Daskalov, only Bulgarian. Apparently, this line of musicians stretches throughout the Orthodox ecumene. In St. Petersburg, did they teach you dancing or more singing?

Interestingly, Ilya, we also had one in the choir in Yaroslavl with a similar last name, but he only taught singing, no dancing. And in St. Petersburg, apparently, a whole dynasty has emerged. Did you often communicate with that Bulgarian in Krasnodar?
