The enthusiastic members of the association preserve and nurture our folk dance traditions alongside their studies and work, and they regularly perform at events in Mórahalom and the surrounding region.

In addition, they themselves organize annual gala performances, folk dance festivals, and dance houses, which contribute to building community and maintaining friendships formed through a shared love for folk dance.
