Susan Reagel is not only one of the best and consistent dancers of the Portland area. She is single-handedly responsible for ensuring Balkanalia's survival when the East European Folklife Center (EEFC) released it from its cadre of camps. She created Balkan Festivals Northwest, and recruited a group of volunteers who manage the camp to this day.
Susan has been learning and performing Balkan dances since the 1990s. She taught the Reed College folkdance class for many years and was a performer and choreographer in the late Portland dance ensemble Naslada.
