In Hungary, the folk dance has a long and rich history. Seeing a folk dance evening is a very nice, splendid and joyful experience and helps you discover the Hungarian traditions and the way of life and temperament of the people of the Hungarian villages.

The Hungarian State Folk Ensemble, the Danube Folk Ensemble, and the Rajkó Folk Ensemble (founded in 1951, 1952, and 1957 respectively) are three of the best Hungarian folk ensembles with the longest tradition in Hungary. They regularly give performances both in Hungary and abroad. Each ensemble consists of 30 artists. The choreographies are based on authentic dances, some of them were collected in small villages and date back hundreds of years. Throughout the performances, you can gain insight into the folk music dance, and costume heritage of Hungary and areas inhabited by Hungarians.
