Welcome to TOŠE Australian Macedonian Dance Ensemble inc.

Our Mission

TOŠE Australian Macedonian Dance Ensemble is dedicated to fostering community cohesion and preserving Macedonian heritage through folkloric dance and song. Providing a safe and inclusive environment for local youth to embrace their Macedonian cultural identity, preserving the essence of Macedonian culture for future generations. Through our activities and performances, we aim to have a positive impact on the community by promoting cultural diversity, fostering a sense of belonging, and bridging cultural gaps. We believe that by sharing and celebrating the beauty and richness of Macedonian traditions by performing traditional dances and songs, we can contribute to a more inclusive and harmonious society.

Our Namesake Toše Proeski

In memory of our namesake Toše Proeski, a singer, songwriter, UNICEF ambassador, philanthropist; an artistic leader and inspiration to a generation of Macedonians. In 2009, TOŠE AMDE received a blessing from Toše Proeski's family to name the organisation after our Macedonian angel in memory of his unwavering humanity, kindness, skill and pride. His magical voice and legacy act as a reminder of his ability to take Macedonian culture and bring it into the 21st century, while still keeping its authenticity, tradition and beauty. We thank Toše for all he has done, and we hope that he, and his family, are proud of what we have achieved. Toše inspired many through song, music and love, breaking down many barriers with his infectious smile and shining a positive light on all that is Macedonian.

TOŠE AMDE hopes to continue shining his light for many years to come.

We welcome new members of any age and experience throughout the year

When you become a member of TOŠE AMDE, you instantly feel a sense of belonging and are considered part of the family. With ages ranging from 3 to 50+, all members are provided with the opportunity to build mutual interest with fellow students, create lasting friendships, and most of all, learn, experience and celebrate Macedonian culture and heritage through song and dance.

There is an abundance of physical and mental health benefits that come with dancing, from our Tiny Tots where we teach the fundamentals and improve their coordination and motor skills; to the Juniors where we improve their balance and muscular strength, endurance and fitness levels; to the Tweens where we prepare them for their transition into Teens; our Teens where their self-confidence and self-esteem is boosted along with their social skills; our Reserves group offers a fun environment for adults (beginners and ex-dancers) to get fit, meet new people whilst learning and revising Macedonian folklore, dance and song.

Our Seniors are a group of committed adults who train as semi-professionals to showcase through performances at a wide range of events, festivals, and concerts.

Students transition through the groups depending on age, skill and confidence.

Macedonian dancing is fun for all ages.
