The Anthology of Children’s Folk Dance Groups was held in February 2020. This is a showcase of the best folk dance choreographies for Hungarian children’s groups of 2019. Seventeen children’s dance groups were selected to perform at the event held in Szeged, Hungary. "...both on and off stage children are sincere" and this shines through in their performances. Host of the event, Sikentáncz Szilvester said, "...this is not a genre, not a segment of our culture, but our culture itself...it needn’t be guarded, it’s not a prisoner; needn’t be nursed, it’s not sick - instead it must be learned and relearned again and again, and handed on to the next generation.” Report by Fodor Zsófia - includes list of ensembles and choreographies presented.
