Esther Willems from the Netherlands continues to attract people from different cities and nationalities to her club for Bulgarian folk dances, established in The Hague and named "Zora". It was founded in 2017 and then 13 people were part of it, but now the number has reached 50. Willems defines the past season 2023-2024 as the most successful so far. Her group participated in a number of stage performances and gatherings in the Netherlands, Belgium, France and Germany.
In addition to learning Bulgarian folk dances, the formation organizes competitions between various Dutch groups, as well as games in which participants' knowledge of Bulgarian traditions and folklore is tested.
