Од управата на ММД “Никола Карев“
Macedonia is a country known for its rich history, natural beauty but also the Macedonian folklore that is passed from generation to generation. Macedonian songs and dances are prevalent on all continents where Macedonians live.
There are many artistic cultural associations established in
the Diaspora just to preserve this folk treasure. One of them is the Australian
Macedonian Youth Association “Nikola Karev”, in Melbourne formed on the 12-th of December
1977 in Yarraville in order to meet the needs of young people who were eager to
learn the Macedonian folklore, song and dance.
They began with 30 members and with great effort and enthusiasm,
and that figure reached 200 dancers. Always professional in his interpretations
of traditional Macedonian dances and folk songs, they are definitely favourites
among audiences wherever they appear. Some of the great achievements are the
participation on the biggest Moomba parade in Australia, which is followed by
hundreds of thousands people and they are amazed by the Macedonian traditional
costumes, and beautiful dance.
Besides preserving folklore, they established excellent cooperation
with famous music groups, singers and organizing concerts in Australia. AMYA has
received many awards for it’s mission in Australia. One of them is the Gold
award for successful presentation of Macedonian folklore by the House of Immigrants
(R. Macedonia) and the Macedonian national ensemble 'Tanec'.
Special credit for many years at the top and successful
promotion of folklore in Australia has a president and choreographer of AMYA,
Ace Petrovski who leads the dancers through the secrets of the beautiful
Macedonian folklore and gives a new dimension of what Macedonian history and customs means. As a
result of his many years of work, dedication and love for Macedonia, he created
his own dance, named Alexander’s dance (Александрово оро) which presents the time of the greatest leader,
Alexander The Great and his phalanx.The Committee of management says: To name our artistic dancing group by the first Macedonian President of Krusevo Republic (1903), Nikola Karev, is not only an honour but also a great responsibility. Dancing group toured in Macedonia in 1982, 1986, 1994, 2003 and have a wonderful impressions from there. AMYA is great Ambassador of Macedonian culture through music and dance in Australia.
