He visited 13 villages along the Hungarian-Romanian border collecting information about Romanian folk tradition, names of the dances, who could dance them, origin of the dances and the dance’s role. Most of the reports he made mention need to return for recording music and film documention of the dances. Later that year he returned to Méhkerék, Elek, and Magyarcsanád to film the dances, etc. The location of documentation in the archives from these collection trips is provided. This information highlights another side of Timár’s work: field collection work on traditional dance, whereas he is very well known as an artistic director of folk dance ensembles, choreographer, and for his method for teaching Hungarian folk dance.
