Dance House with the Bartók Dance Ensemble

The Bartók Dance Ensemble of Budapest is the adult dance company of the Bartók Workshop. Now in its 68th year, the ensemble has been a defining presence in the Hungarian folk dance movement since its founding, regularly achieving success in professional competitions and showcases.

The group’s primary aim is to master folk dance at a “native language” level and present it on stage in an authentic form. Their professional work is characterized by a deep knowledge of authentic folklore, the continuous development of high-level dance technique, and the creation of both folklore-based and dance theatre productions—all rooted in pure, original sources.

The strength and cohesion of the community define the ensemble, forming a bond that unites all its members. Their goal is to represent the Bartók name with dignity wherever their dancers perform.

Artistic directors: Anna Sánta-Bíró, Gergő Sánta
