Welcome to the Vancouver Csardas Hungarian Dance Group!!
Köszöntünk a Vancouveri Csárdás tánc csoport honlapján
History
The Vancouver Csárdás (Children’s) Dance Group has existed since the late 1970’s, operating under the Hungarian Cultural Society of Vancouver as a non-profit organization. The group consists of children ages 4-16 yrs of all nationalities, providing the opportunity to learn and appreciate Hungarian cultural music and the art form of Hungarian cultural dance.
The Csardas dance group has a weekly practice that runs from September to June and we break for the summer. We also observe Christmas break and Spring break.
We have several performances throughout the year at various venues, Festivals, etc. around the Lower mainland – eg. European Festival, Polish Harvest Festival, Serbian Festival, Greek Summerfest to name a few.
We aim to have at minimum 1-2 fundraiser events with the expectation of parent volunteers to ensure the success of such events.
