Veselina Rahneva is from Kazanlak, town in the valley of roses and the Thracian kings in Bulgaria. She started dancing at the age of 6 in her home town where she has been performing with the Folklore Ensemble “Palavnitsi” for 6 years. She rediscovered her passion for bulgarian music and folklore dance when she moved to Boston and saw a performance of Ludo Mlado for the Bulgarian Independence Day – March 3rd, 2013 in Woburn, MA. She joined Ludo Mlado 4 months later.
