Táncház és legényes

Summary Passing on folk tradition (village music) in an urban environment - that's what the dance house movement was merited for by UNESCO, as a 'best practice'. The movement itself started out in Budapest in 1972, creating an ever growing community, and forming strong bonds with rural communities in Transylvania. This episode looks at the movement's current form in Budapest clubs and dance contests, guided by Sándor Csoóri "Sündi", representing the second generation of dancehouse musicians. We look at how it all started, and why dance house is still a popular pastime in an urban environment. A visit at a lad's dance contest looks into how such an intricate dance form evolved, and gives a taste of dazzling "legényes" also heritage listed by UNESCO. We stop by at Fonó - warehouse turned folk music hub on Budapest's outskirts - to experience dance teaching, and look at the main musical and ethnographical features of dance house. A night-time session in Hunnia Bisztró, a downtown club where patrons party to village music shows the lighthearted joy this heritage may offer.
