Traditional Dances of Hungary and Transylvania
Pannonia
Europe | Dance
Pannonia is a group of dancers ready to help you appreciate the lively dances of Hungary and Transylvania.
Hungary has a rich inventory of traditional music that is respected well beyond its own borders. Traditional Hungarian dance and music have always reflected the style of village festivals and of music played after working in the fields. The dances are varied and are taught to a large public of all ages during workshops or live music dance evenings (tanchaz), which is another Hungarian tradition. People both young and old have discovered the regional dances and their incredible potential for personal and collective expression.
Pannonia organise his yearly Party on 1st November.
Classes
Pannonia offers weekly dance classes and workshops, in addition to organising dance evenings with live music and performances. The group teaches steps, sequences of figures, Hungarian dance and various regional dances. The dances can be improvised as soon as you can link two steps together. You can choose from couple dancing right through to group and solo dances. Pannonia would be very happy to welcome any new people to the group, particularly men. While it is true that men lead in Hungarian dance, women also have a key role.

Introduction to the "Singing the World Method"
Regular Workshops
Clotilde Rullaud
These regular workshops are a chance to try out the Martina A. Catella method and its Sing the World application, in order to ‘discover the voice, the world, its cultures and languages through song’. This original approach brings together technique, games and repertoires borrowed from traditional societies the world over for their learning values and beauty.
