[katia mucha]

We are deeply saddened by the loss of this wonderful man 

who did so much to promote Bulgarian dance and folklore.

Yves also taught dances from Brittany, his native Quebec, and

other countries in the Balkans.   

It is impossible to imagine what folk dancing would be like without 

the dances he taught, dances that have truly enriched our lives.

Yves recently appeared on Zoom as an organizer of a tribute to 

Bora Ozkok, and many Detroit dancers have had the 

opportunity to meet him as he shared his expertise and 

communicated his love of dancing at workshops throughout the years.

Yves passed away on September 8, 2023, at age 75, of PBC, Primary 

Bilary Cholangitis, an autoimmune disease.   

We send sincere condolences to his loving wife, France Bourque-Moreau, 

a specialist in children's folkdance and music, and to his family and friends.
