Folk Dancing

My favourite Klezmer band

Jewish dance

A great Roma folk band

Folk Dancing is a huge pastime in Hungary. In my hometown, there is a dance every Wedesday and Sunday night with different live bands and teachers. I especially love it in the summer since between June and September all the dances are outdoors. You can be a beginner or an experienced dancer, and you are guaranteed to have a great time and get a great workout. Furthermore, you can learn about various cultures, because every time a different minority group, living in Hungary, leads the dance. This summer we participated in Hungarian, Romanian, Serbian, Greek, Roma/Gypsy and Jewish dances. You can get more info and pictures of the dance houses in my previous postings (see June 25, and July 29, 2010).
