Mission
Combining traditional culture with
contemporary influences and innovative ideas,
TOŠE Australian Macedonian Dance Ensemble aim to work towards presenting the Macedonian culture through folkloric dance and song to a wider audience in Australia and internationally, in a fresh and contemporary way.
Celebrating 10 years
In 2019, TOŠE AMDE celebrated 10 years since its inception.
A theatre production was held on the 15th of November 2019
at Union Theatre, Parkville Victoria, Australia.
“PROŠETKA OKOLU MAKEDONIJA”
“TRAVELS AROUND MACEDONIA”
Showcasing Macedonian folk dance and song with our
Tiny Tots, Juniors, Teens, Seniors & Veterans.
Accompanied by singer Nikola Zaceski and the TOŠE AMDE Orchestra, the Macedonian Women's Choir Pletenka and our extraordinary guests, the
world-renowned Orchestra of TANEC National Institution of Macedonian Folk Dances and Songs from Macedonia.
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.
Today TOŠE AMDE is one of the largest Macedonian folk dancing groups in Melbourne with over
100 members across five groups. Our dancers, members, choreographers, volunteers and sponsors are a vital part of our growth and success.
We are proud to share our journey of promoting Macedonian folk dance and song with you.
We hope you enjoy our website and welcome you to follow us on social media, pop into our rehearsals or attend our performances. Take your time, look around, and learn all there is to know about
TOŠE Australian Macedonian Dance Ensemble.
TOŠE AMDE currently has 5 groups
Tiny Tots, Juniors, Teens, Reserves and Seniors.
Tiny Tots/Juniors/Teens rehearsals are on
Monday evenings in Mill Park.
Seniors/Reserves rehearsals are on Tuesday evenings in Doreen.
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 5 to 65, 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; 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.
In October 2019, TOŠE Australian Macedonian Dance Ensemble had a wonderful day in the park capturing moments with all of our dancers from
our Tiny Tots, Juniors, Teens, and Senior groups.
