Folk Dance Workshops with Caspar Bik

Caspar Bik brought his terrific teaching of Georgian, Turkish, Bulgarian, and Roma dances to Stockton in 2017 and 2018. He also introduced a wonderfully creative dance from his home country of the Netherlands that he choreographed himself. As a talented and gentle teacher, Caspar is quickly becoming a rising star in the folk dance community at just 29 years old.

From a young age, Caspar has been an active dancer, participating in groups that represent Dutch dances as well as those showcasing an international repertoire. He graduated in 2013 as a dance teacher from the renowned Codarts dance academy in Rotterdam. Beyond folk dancing, Caspar has a wide range of experience in modern/contemporary dance, classical ballet, jazz dance, ballroom, and tap dance.

Since his graduation, he has been teaching various dance styles to children, teenagers, and adults, catering to both amateur and professional levels. In 2014, he founded a youth school for theater arts, which performs a stage musical every year, for which Caspar creates the choreography. His expertise as both a folk dance instructor and choreographer has led him to teach courses in Belgium, Germany, Switzerland, Sweden, Taiwan, Turkey, and the USA.

At Fall Camp, Caspar Bik will be teaching international dances with a special emphasis on countries from around the Black Sea, further solidifying his role in the vibrant folk dance community.
