You can learn nearly anything on the internet, and singing and dancing are no exception. There are endless materials to choose from, but not everything is reliable. I Dance Hungary<\/a> is taking steps to solve this problem by providing tutorials led by dance experts and original footage for those wanting to learn Hungarian folk dance. The website is supported by Friends of Hungary Foundation, also the publisher of Hungary Today and Ungarn Heute.<\/strong><\/p>\n

It\u2019s easy to feel like a Hungarian when you are living in the country, speaking the language and are surrounded by other Hungarians. For those residing in other countries, however, it can be hard to preserve their national identity. Folk dance and singing have always been vital parts of Hungarian tradition. As E. Sylvester Vizi, President of the Friends of Hungary Foundation, puts it: \u201cDancing and singing represent the soul of the Hungarian people.\u201d<\/p>\n

But I Dance Hungary has more to offer than merely reaching out to the Hungarian diaspora. While it doesn\u2019t require knowledge of the Hungarian language, it can definitely help Hungarians too. After all, not everyone in Hungary has the chance to master these dances, despite them being part of the custom. People with no Hungarian roots can also benefit from the platform by using it to foster an interest in the culture. It\u2019s more common for foreigners to take an interest in Hungarian culture than you may think.<\/p>\n
