The dance presentations at the Festival bring to life the customs and routines of the Hungarian village, demonstrate the regional and historical differences in traditions of dance, encompassing the area from the Csango villages in Moldova to the Rábaköz, and from medieval dances to the tschardas.
A special troupe of 25 dancers has been assembled for the festival, with the core composed of solo dancers who are recipients of the Golden Spur and the Golden Pearl awards, young folk dance instructors and ensemble leaders. Several of them have been featured in the folk music and dance talent competition currently running on Hungarian television.
