“We can thank folk dance for finding each other” / “A néptáncnak köszönhetjük, hogy egymásra találtunk” 🪻

So happy to be reuniting with professional dance teachers (and dear friends) Zoltan & Kata Varga. Their knowledge, passion and experience with Mérai Cifra Néptáncegyüttes, FolkOtthon, and Méra World Music Festival will bring our own West Fest to the next level!

🇬🇧 “Folk dance is more than just a way of life or a way of relaxing: it is a bridge that connects us to places and people that are important to us. We can thank folk dance for finding each other and for taking us to corners of the world that we might never have otherwise visited. We have already been to Australia twice this way, where we not only discovered new landscapes, but also found dear friends. That is why every return is a special experience for us: not a simple journey, but a joyful encounter with a community close to us.”

🇭🇺 “A néptánc számunkra több egyszerű életformánál vagy kikapcsolódásnál: egy híd, amely összeköt bennünket a számunkra fontos helyekkel és emberekkel. A néptáncnak köszönhetjük, hogy egymásra találtunk, és általa olyan szegleteibe jutottunk el a világnak, ahová máskülönben talán sosem vettük volna az irányt. Ausztráliába is így jutottunk el már két alkalommal, ahol nemcsak új tájakat fedeztünk fel, hanem kedves barátokra is leltünk. Ezért minden visszatérés különleges élmény számunkra: nem egy egyszerű utazás, hanem örömteli találkozás egy hozzánk közel álló közösséggel.”

“We are brought together by our shared passion, just like you” / “Akárcsak titeket, a közös szenvedélyünk hoz össze” 🌹

Happy Friday! Dávid & Réka will be journeying to Australia for the first time to teach Szászcsávás at Transylvanian West Fest next April. Bring it on 🤩

🇬🇧 "We have been dancing in the Debrecen Forgórózsa Dance Ensemble for decades, and in the past few years we have been happily teaching children and adults. During the day, Réka is a kindergarten teacher, Dávid is a lawyer, and in the afternoon, we are brought together by our shared passion, just like you. What you can know about us in advance is that we are sometimes quite loud... but usually there is a good reason for this 😄 Oh, and bring lots of t-shirts..."

🇭🇺 "Évtizedek óta a Debreceni Forgórózsa Táncegyüttesben táncolunk, az elmúlt néhány évben pedig már gyerekeket és felnőtteket is örömmel tanítunk. Napközben Réka óvodapedagógus, Dávid jogász, délutánra pedig minket is, akárcsak titeket, a közös szenvedélyünk hoz össze. Amit tudhattok rólunk előre, hogy néha elég hangosak vagyunk... de általában ennek jó oka van 😄 Ja, és hozzatok sok pólót..."
