Táncház, or Dance House, is a cherished tradition where participants can engage in lively folk dancing accompanied by live music. It's a vibrant and energetic atmosphere where people of all ages and skill levels come together to share in the joy of dance.

Our Gala Performance will be held at Darke Hall on Sunday, October 13^th, 2024, with dancers coming together from across Western Canada.  The performance will offer a unique blend of dance styles and regions, adding to the richness of the cultural experience. Through intricate choreography, traditional costumes, and live music, the audience will be transported into the heart of Hungarian tradition and celebration.

Such events not only entertain but also educate and inspire, fostering a deeper appreciation for the cultural heritage of Hungary and the dedication of those who work tirelessly to keep these traditions alive.
