The Kossuth Prize and Prima Primissima Award-winning Muzsikás ensemble invites families with young children to their traditional dance house, teaching Hungarian folk dances, folk songs, and nursery rhymes.
Time: weekly, Tuesdays from 17:00
Admission: 800 Ft per person (free for children under 2, discount for large families)
Cash payment only!
The dance house begins at 17:00 with a craft workshop. With the help of Annamária Kovács, a craftsperson and folk play-house leader, children can make folk games, gifts, and small objects using craft techniques. The workshop is very popular with both children and adults, as it completes the introduction to and appreciation of folk art; in addition to dancing and singing, it allows participants to experience the joy of creating. The craft workshop continues until the end of the dance house, so those who want to rest a little or are tired can continue working in the foyer.
At the dance house, the musicians and Anita Littner, the dance house leader, first teach children's songs, usually accompanied by some circle game. This is followed by dance instruction, where children learn simple dance steps appropriate to their age. During the break following the first part, the children are taught nursery rhymes and short poems, then more dancing follows. After that, the children sit down with their parents, Zoltán Bödőcs dances, and Mihály Sipos, the leader of the Muzsikás Ensemble, talks about the song(s) performed.
