Folk Dancing at its Finest

When's the last time you saw some good old fashioned folk dancing? On our Danube River cruise, we made this stop in Kalocsa, Hungary, where we saw the Puszta horses and Magyar cowboys. Additionally we stopped at a folk arts house and saw this adorable young pair (they looked like they were maybe 17) demonstrate folk dancing for us. Do you see the intricate embroidery on her frock? That was all hand-made and the delicate needlework took hours upon hours to do. This was Hungarian Folk Dancing, but have you ever seen any type of folk dancing anywhere? Photo taken by me.

I have cousins who are sisters, their mother is Ukranian. They belonged to an exclusive Ukranian dance club and they travelled throughout Canada and the US performing. They were amazing to watch, both for their dancing but as well as for their costumes. There is a tri-city not far from us that has quite a German concentration of people, they put on alot of those shows, especially during the Oktoberfest season.

I saw folk dancing when I was a kid, but I was so young I didn’t even know what to call it.
