Szigetvári József reacts to Margittai Gábor’s critical review of the Néptáncantologia (anthology of folk dance choreographies) held in Budapest in January at the Erkel Theatre. Margittai’s review appeared in the newspaper „Magyar Nemzet” on January 27th. The event in question, is a yearly event, a showcase of some of the best amateur folk dance choreographies of the previous year. Szigetvári thinks that Margittai’s review was „neither critique, nor professional opinion. What appeared in the newspaper was concentrated maliciousness and bitterness...” While Szigetvári applauds the writing of... „Maácz László was the last dance reviewer... ....he didn’t hate folk dance, his work was spiced with his wry humour, he wrote about every dance event. It often two articles appeared on one event – one for the „Táncművészet” (the professional dance magazine) and at the same time one for the national newspapers which he changed so that someone who had never seen folk dance before, would run out and buy a ticket to the next performance... The task is different for the outside world...articles must be written that inspire interest, the „beauty value” must be called to the reader’s attention.” Szigetvári says that the professional analysis should be in the „Táncművészet” for the professionals to read while also saying that amateur folk dance should not be criticised, it should be understood, praised and nurtured.
