Sebő Ferenc: The Dance House and Science – This piece begins with the following paragraph: "With this presentation I would like to recall the bustling, agitated period at the begining of the 1970s that was heavy with argument and hard work. What resulted was a renaissance of instrumental folk music, the emergence of a new form of entertainment – the dance house, and as a side effect the staged folk dance movement saw a renewal.” Sebő’s presentation is organized under the following headings: music, the dance house movement’s connection to related fields of science, folk dance, the results of folk dance research and collection. This article from 2012 was presented at a conference celebrating of the 40th anniversary of the first dance house held in Budapest in 1972. Presentations from the conference were then published in a volume entitled: "Meg kell a búzának érni".
