Report on dance collection fieldwork done in May 2024 amongst the Roma community in the town of Enying, in Hungary’s Fejér County. The report begins by describing previous research done in the area with listing of where it can be found in the archives. The present fieldwork was led by folk dance researchers from Budapest’s Hungarian Heritage House who first made a preliminary trip in April 2024 to establish contacts and lay the groundwork for the actual collection event. In May the collection team consisted of one person taking still photos, one taking notes, one who did audio recordings and one person for video documention. Couple, solo and group dancing were documented of nine women, four men, and four child informants. Their dancing was accompanied by guitar, water jug, spoons, singing, and recorded music.
