Ring in the spring with Kengugró & The Transylvaniacs – a night of stomping, swirling and clapping!

Táncház led by Kristóf Sebestyén from Hungary and members of Kengugró. Live music by The Transylvaniacs.

The band strikes up, the dance leader calls everyone up into a big circle and off we go. Before you know it, you will be spinning, slapping and swirling with wild abandon. For those who are just beginning or dancers not familiar with this style, the dances will be taught step by step to live music by The Transylvaniacs. Those already familiar with the style can enjoy the live music and let their feet do the talking. Dances will be taught from many regions including Szatmár, Bonchida, Kalotaszeg and Palatka.

ABOUT KRISTÓF SEBESTYÉN

Kristóf Sebestyén, from Győr, Hungary, has arrived in Australia on a nine month scholarship with the Kőrösi Csoma Sándor program to teach dance to Kengugró and at events around Sydney.

ABOUT KENGUGRÓ

Kengugró embodies the vibrant colours and energy of the twirling, whirling, jumping, slapping dance culture from the Carpathian Basin. Since its inception in 1987, Kengugró accompanied by The Transylvaniacs have presented a rich smorgasbord of dance, music and song from across this region. Their repertoire draws primarily on the traditions of Hungary, Slovakia and Transylvania which they have shared with audiences across Australia, Hungary and Europe.

They hold regular táncház (dance-house) with The Transylvaniacs around Sydney, encouraging everybody to join in the fun. The táncház method of teaching traditional dancing was inscribed on UNESCO’s List of Intangible Heritage of Urgent Safeguarding in November 2011.
