"Dream Dancers" gathered hundreds in Sofia on Monday for a night of magic, rhythm and history all wrapped in Lili Ignatova's show "Legend".

Founded by former rhythmic gymnast star Ignatova, the show tells the love story of Orpheus and Eurydice combining modern dance, folklore and gymnastics.

After receiving a standing ovation in London's "Royal Albert Hall" the Legend was presented to Bulgaria's public with a new look, designed by Astella Fashion Atelier.

A total of thirteen dances ranging from ancient Rhodope songs, through folklore motives from the mountains, Sofia and Macedonia, to Latino rhythms tell the story of Thrace's most popular mythical hero. Orpheus falls in love and gives his heart to a fair maiden, but death takes her to early so he follows her to the underworld.
