Folk Dance

In Hungary folk dance has a long and rich history. A folk dance evening is a splendid, joyful experience that helps you discover Hungarian traditions and the way of life and temperament of the people of the Hungarian villages.

The Hungarian State Folk Ensemble, the Danube Folk Ensemble and the Rajkó Folk Ensemble (founded in 1951, 1952 and 1957 respectively) are three of the best Hungarian folk ensembles, with the longest traditions in the country. They regularly perform both in Hungary and abroad, and each ensemble consists of 30 artists. The choreographies are based on authentic dances, some of them collected in small villages and dating back hundreds of years. Throughout the performances you gain an insight into the folk music, dance and costume heritage of Hungary and of the areas inhabited by Hungarians.

Folklore performances in summer: every Friday and Sunday.
