Csűrdöngölő Folk Ensemble Inc.: 06/01/2007

The Csűrdöngölő Folk Ensemble is rooted in the New York-New Jersey Hungarian-American community, and primarily operates in New Brunswick, NJ, which is the so called hotbed for Hungarian-Americans. The Ensemble actively exists since 1998, and has over the years evolved into one of America’s leading ethnic dance ensembles.

Throughout the years, the Ensemble has performed in locations as prestigious as The State Theater of New Brunswick and Manhattan’s Town Hall. The members seek and accept performance opportunities at various events, such as Hungarian and international folk festivals, ethnic dance events, school events and more.

The choreographies on stage are usually presented with live music played by Életfa, the best known Hungarian folk music band in U.S. Életfa treats its audiences to a high-energy, entertaining tour of Hungary’s folk music, song and dance culture. The group’s members specialize in and present the authentic, archaic folklore from the villages of present-day-Hungary, Transylvania, Slovakia and beyond, delivered in a style suitable for Western audiences.

Our purpose is the promotion of cultural diversity in the U.S. The Csűrdöngölő folk dance group represents one of the many cultures within the American society. This dance company is preserving the Hungarian culture through dance, songs, music and costumes. The performances and dance events are open to everyone.
