A group of young men gathered in the Opusztaszer National Heritage Park center to dance the traditional Hungarian csardas. The dance was organized by the park, and it was a part of to showcase a traditional Easter celebration.
All men dancers with their vibrant embroidered vests and boots that clicked against the well maintained grass, they moved with a fiery passion that ignited the hearts of all who watched. The music, played by a lively band of musicians, filled the air with its lively tempo, urging the dancers to twirl and leap with reckless abandon.
A lot of people, men and women enjoyed to watch them. The group of young men continued to dance, their movements becoming more intricate and energetic with each passing moment. The onlookers cheered and clapped, caught up in the infectious energy of the performance. The dancers spun and stomped, their faces flushed with exertion and joy, their laughter ringing out like bells in the crisp evening air.
As the final notes of the music faded away, the young men bowed to their audience, their chests heaving with exertion and pride. The onlookers erupted into applause, their faces beaming with admiration for the skill and passion of the dancers.
To remember to a traditional Easter with csardas, the memory of that magical dance lingered in the hearts of all who had witnessed the group of young men dancing the Hungarian csardas.
What is csardas exactly and where it came from?
The Csárdás also know as czardas - is a traditional Hungarian folk dance. The word Csárdás originated from the word csárda. The csárda means tavern or inn with pub. The dance got its name, because they used to dance in the tavern or pub, therefore became known as "Csárdás," or dances in the pub. However csárdás originated from the 18th century, in the time of the Austrian Hungarian Empire. There was a music genre named verbunkos, where the verbunk was used as a recruiting dance by the Austrian army. The word verbunkos originated from the German word Werbung - recruitment. Austrian's language is German. In the Hungarian language the W and the V pronunciation is pretty much the same, so Werbung became Verbung - recruitment and Verbung turned into Verbunkos dance. And then Verbunkos turned into csárdás.
Today no Hungarian dance Csárdás in the pub, but it's a very popular dance at wedding parties and or at cultural events.
The Csárdás have many versions. Because of the Verbunkos, men can dance alone or with other men, as you saw on the video, women could not go in the army at that time when csardas was born, that is why men can dance it alone.
However, as life went on, the csardas changed. Today it can be dance by men - women couples. Not just the Csárdás itself, but its music can be different too. It can start slow and speed up at the end, it can be very dynamic, and or very rhythmical, or same speed as you heard on the video.
