Performances

Csárdás performances feature distinctive Hungarian folk culture, including the dances,music, songs, poetry/chanting, and a colourful array of folk costumes. In addition to the rich layers of folk dancing found within the present-day borders of Hungary, Csárdás also studies the folk cultures of Hungarian minority groups living in Romania/Transylvania and Slovakia. 

In addition to choreographed presentations of Hungarian folk culture, Csárdás develops a second, equally important aspect of folk dance: improvisation. Distinct from set choreographies, improvisational folk dance is an important part of our culture. Csárdás emphasizes these skills in its rehearsals, resulting in dancers who are continually improving their quality of movement and dancing.
