Budapest, Hungary. The folk dances of Hungary

Budapest. The beautiful city on the Danube. It’s a city I’ve never heard anything bad said about. “If you love Prague, you’ll love Budapest” people would tell me. And they were right- I did like Budapest, though not nearly as much as I like Prague but that’s another story. This story is about Hungarian folk dancing.

Hungarian folk dancing reminds me of Irish folk dancing mixed with a bit of Russian and Jewish folk dancing. Everyone dances in a circle or twirls around partners. There’s a lot feet stomping and singing. Here’s a small sample.
