Within the walls of the Aranyszöm Event House in Mórahalom, past and present met: the Mórahalom Folk Dance Association celebrates its 10th anniversary with an exhibition and gala performance. At the jubilee exhibition, three decades of folk dance memories, experiences and community-building power came to life through photographs, certificates and artifacts.
The exhibition marks the beginning of the celebratory programme: on October 4 at 17:00, audiences are invited to a jubilee folk dance gala, where former and current dancers, as well as friendly ensembles will perform on stage accompanied by the Trimba band.
Mórahalom Folk Dance Association 10 Years Old
Folk dance instruction began in the town in 1995 under the leadership of Attiláné Csonka, "Aunt Edit". From kindergarteners to high school students and young adults, generations became acquainted with folk traditions, dances and folk songs through her teaching. Over the years, the small group transformed into a large family community that not only performed regularly at local and regional events, but also represented Hungary and Mórahalom in numerous countries, from Sweden to Turkey.
International Relations
They developed close friendships with folk dance groups from Vojvodina, Poland and Turkey, who enriched the Homokháti Sokadalom International Folk Dance Festival every year. Among the experiences, the most memorable were the Folk Dance Galas that moved the city, where everyone from the youngest to adults took the stage.
The Birth of the Official Association
After completing folk dance studies at the arts school, there was a long gap in the opportunity to dance in an organized form. This gap was filled in 2015 by young people who, under the leadership of Márton Pipicz, founded the Mórahalom Folk Dance Association. Since then, members of the community have persistently cultivated folk dance traditions alongside their studies and work. They are regular performers at city and regional events, and they also organize dance houses, festivals and gala performances themselves. These programmes serve not only the preservation of traditions, but also community building and the strengthening of friendships.
