Beginning and advanced dance classes, singing instruction, ethnographic lecture, photo exhibition, traditional foods, performance, dance house – all a celebration of traditional life in the Transylvanian village of Százcsávás /Ceuaș !
…and maybe you’d also like to try the award winning wine from Százcsávás, or listen to the five part singing tradition of the Csávás Choir! Come to the Fonó on February 22, 2020 for this Hungarian Százcsávás Event.

Until now the dance house movement has NOT focused on the traditional couple dances done by Hungarians in the village of Százcsává s. First we got to know the now-famous band from the village and the local Gypsy dances.

Now it’s time to get to know and popularize the Hungarian dances done there.

Pannónia Folk Dance Ensemble was formed in 1992 in Kistarcsa, Hungary. Presently the group includes 170 folk dancers in 7 smaller groups where participants may familiarize themselves with folk traditions. The dancers in the adult group have become particularly interested in the dances of Százcsávás. Their choreography of the Hungarian dances of Csávás won a special award for stylistic performance at a choreography competition in Hungary in November 2019. The whole group has visited the village and now they would like to recreate and share their experiences by organizing this event at the Fonó.
