Haris Fazlic Iota Mu/University of Missouri (2015), recently won a regional Emmy for his performance with a traditional Bosnian dance group based in St. Louis. Fazlic was taught about Bosnian folk dance by his father, who was a choreographer for the village dance troupe before the family was forced to flee the country.
In 2011, Fazlic was asked by Stacy West to participate in and serve as an artistic consultant for the Bosnian segment of “Still Standing,” part of the show, “Veza” which featured a variety of dance types revolving around the central theme. Fazlic’s segment was featured on the Higher Education Channel.
Shortly after, Fazlic left St. Louis to attend college at the University of Missouri. In October, Feliz was notified that the segment had won a regional Emmy.
