Memories of Martin Interview with Novák Ferenc (Choreographer, longtime director of Honvéd Ensemble) Novák gives us an idea of the alive, intellectual atmosphere there was in the fifties amongst that circle of people that became key figures in Hungarian folk dance research, choreography and education. Novák describes Martin as one of the leading personalities in this group. Also commenting; „He was a wonderful, charismatic dancer, a delight to watch when he got up to dance.” Martin became the intellectual leader of the group of dance researchers/dance ethnographers that is referred to abroad as the Hungarian school.
