Táncház Literacy Weekend 2026

Sponsored by the Hungarian Folklife Association in partnership with the Magyar Tanya, this weekend is focused on teaching táncház dances to beginners and/or those individuals who have limited experience with these social dances. The whole idea is to get more people participating in dances that always seem to be played at táncház events.

Please note: this event for ages 13 and above only (and all individuals under 18 must be supervised by an adult).
Cost: $160 plus lodging/food type
Location: Magyar Tanya | 1495 Huffs Church Rd, Barto, PA 19504
Venue phone number: 410-926-8379

Teaching material:

• Mezőségi, Szatmári (in-depth)
