Hungarian Music and Dance Camp
At camp, we will learn about the dances of Nádasmente, also known as Cifra Kalotaszeg or “Elegant Kalotaszeg” referring to the ornate costumes, furniture, and textiles common in the area. Dance teaching will focus on the villages of Méra, Magyarvista, and Andrásháza.
Méra: The gem of Cifra Kalotaszeg, known for its folk art, folk costumes, dances and music, is one of the most famous settlements of Kalotaszeg in Central Transylvania, located 12 km from Cluj. The csárdás and szapora from Méra have a rich set of motifs that beginner and advanced dancers will learn and dance.
Magyarvista: Magyarvista is a village at a road’s end, 14 km from Cluj. It’s one of the oldest settlements in Kalotaszeg. The settlement is famous for its 13th-century church, its stone carvings, and the most ornate costumes as well as for its outstanding dancing personality, the most famous dancer of the Kalotaszeg lads’ dance (legényes), István Mátyás ‘Mundruc’. Men can learn Magyarvista’s figures of the lads’ dance – which is considered the most virtuoso men’s dance in Europe.
Andrásháza: The settlement of Andrásháza (Radaia) is located in the Nádasmente region, 11 km from Cluj, on the edge of Kalotaszeg in Cluj county. It belonged to Méra until the 20th century. It is a predominantly Romanian settlement. At camp, dancers in the advanced group will learn the învârtită and szapora from Andrásháza.
