The San Diego Táncház Dancers have long been a favorite at the House of Hungary’s lawn programs in Balboa Park, as well as various festivals, events, and educational programs in San Diego County. Their repertoire encompasses traditional ethnic Hungarian folk dances, with a special preference for the beautifully rich offerings of Transylvania.
The dancers meet twice monthly for SoCal’s best Hungarian/Transylvanian folk dance party (called a Táncház, or “Dance House”), where singles, groups, and beginners of all ages are always welcome.
