Interview with Sikentánz Szilveszter – President of the Heritage Association of Hungarian Children’s and Youth Folk Dance Groups. This association organizes a wide variety of programs, conferences, courses, festivals and talent competitions that successfully support the work, quality and community of Hungarian folk dance groups for children and young people all over Hungary. Recently Sikentánz has also been communicating with the Ministry of Education in an effort to reverse a ruling that says folk dance classes in Hungarian elementary schools no longer satisfy physical education requirements. On another matter, he voices his opinion that presently Hungary’s adult folk dance movement seems to be floundering without appropriate leadership to pull it together. He urges more cooperation and communication between organizing associations. He celebrates the generation of Hungarian children and young people now coming up, who in 20-25 years will be the next folk dance movement leaders, choreographers, folk dancers, researchers.
