Without borders
The performance of the Szászorszép Dance Ensemble of Martonvásár
The ensemble celebrates its 30th anniversary in 2009. From the beginning their aim is to cultivate deliberately our folk heritage and to foster the liberty of individuals in dance. The choreographies usually reflect these principles. The ensemble has won the First Class Category on the Martin National Qualifying Competition five times until now. The leaders - Ildikó Németh and Szilárd Szabó - several times honoured dance-pedagogues.
