New Publication: Dance House 50 – [Stories from half a century of the Dance House Movement] Edited by Jávorszky Béla Szilárd. Kossuth Kiadó, 2022. ISBN: 978-963-544-765-7 This is a collection of summaries and subjective recollections written by leaders of the movement, ethnographers, researchers and participants. Printed here is Jávorszky’s preface to the book, in which he quotes folk musician Kiss Ferenc: ”…we didn’t perform these songs and melodies, we lived them, and then re-lived them. Why did we insist on folk music? Because it expresses eternally valid emotions with incredible simplicity and elemental strength.”
