As a continuation of the Gellért Hill open-air dance houses, during the winter season (from November to April), in a heated venue.
Gradually Moldavian Csángó-Hungarian (and Széki) dance and song in the "Háló S4" Budapest community room, near Astoria (line 2, red metro).
Closed on Ash Wednesday and during Holy Week. On other Lenten Wednesdays (and other occasions) flute players Andor Schindler and Attila Blank help with the music.
Among the Moldavian dance rows we occasionally dance a Széki Hungarian quadrille too, from László Lajtha's collection. These are also circle dances. They can be danced without a partner, and we can learn beautiful songs for them. These are among the oldest pieces of music, and the Széki dance order was what launched the dance house movement.
Musicians playing to entertain our guests and dancers:
Farkas Gyulai (violin, dance, does not play during Lent), Gergely Sámsondi (koboz, violin), occasionally András Boskó (viola), Gábor Boromissza (violin).
We try to play the music of both regions with an old-fashioned sound and tempo. In Moldavian: violin-koboz, violin-cimbalom(-koboz), flute(-koboz), kaval instruments. In a relatively natural setting, that is without amplification, fluorescent lights, LEDs or air conditioning. Out of consideration for the residential building, without drums and double bass. Non-smoking event.
Intimate atmosphere. For all generations. Dance and song instruction.
