Hungarian Dance with Furulya Workshop

  • The Memo Healesville 235 Maroondah Highway Healesville, VIC, 3777 Australia (map)

The furulya (Hungarian shepherd's flute) is found all over Hungary and played in a number of different styles. One of those is called Moldvai, and in this style all the furulya tunes are used to accompany dance. 

The Moldvai dances all have very simple steps. They're deliberately easy to do so that everyone in the village can join in. You don't need to have any special dance training or experience to learn these dances, and they're lots of fun to do. Some are circle dances, some are line dances, and some are couple dances. 

In the Moldvai tradition the music and dance always start slowly so everyone can get used to the steps of the dance, and then after a while it gets a little faster, then a little faster again, and so on till it reaches a good brisk tempo. Lots of fun for all.
