KKóspallagi Dance Houses - for young people and for those who have been young for a long time too. Come, let's have fun together the way the old folks used to!
The Suhaj ensemble plays music, and Borkó Bálint teaches the dances. Singing lessons are led by Fekete Gabi.

During the adult dance house, the ensemble alternates between Moldavian blocks and paired rend dances, chosen according to the audience's requests, while the dance teachers help interested participants learn the basics of each dance.
The event is free of charge, but we accept donations, which will be used to organise the dance house sessions. For the occasion, we are preparing a donation-based buffet.

About the purpose and spirit of the Kóspallag dance houses:
"There were so many balls. Wherever there was one, there were musicians, they were hired, and we danced. And in the pub too, there were so many people that the walls were literally dripping with sweat, there were so many of us, well. (...) There was a ball whenever there was one. Today the world is different." - recalled one of our conversation partners about the old Kóspallag ball scene. Everyone took part in the festivities of the past. The musicians were hired by the community themselves, and everyone could dance and sing, since getting to know one another was one of its basic foundations. No wonder we may get the impression that the old folks really knew how to have a good time...!
We strive for this atmosphere, where everyone can feel that folk dance is not the privilege of a few, but can offer the experience of movement and community to anyone. After all, everyone can sing and dance, they just might think they can't.
The event series is supported by the Csoóri Sándor Programme of the National Cultural Fund.
