Report on Angyalföld’s Vadrózsa Folk Dance Ensemble’s 2024 tour of the United States – Part 1. The author of this report proclaims: "Hungarianness is neither a place, knowing a language nor geographical borders. Hungarianness is heart. A mission. Connections/affinities. Heritage. Legacy. Being Hungarian is a privilege and there are responsibities." The dance ensemble spent a full year in preparation before they left on tour. On the 20 day tour they performed and held dance houses for primarily Hungarian community audiences in New York City, Washington DC, Cleveland (Ohio), Niagra Falls (N.Y.), Boston (MA) and New Brunswick, New Jersey. They made contact with Hungarians from the communities in each place. Clips from the tour were posted on facebook and tiktok. They travelled with 40 dancers from the ensemble, the Zagyva Band, a tour manager (Hajdú-Németh Magyar Ildikó) and Vadrózsa’s artistic directors Fundák Kristóf and Fundák Kaszai Lili. "We are so proud to have been ambassadors of Hungarian culture…and to build bridges between generations and continents…” By Szanyó Gábor member of the group.
