Master of Folk Arts – traditional dancer Fülöp Ferenc (1885–1962). Hungarian Heritage House’s folk dance research group has commissioned Taba Csaba (aka: Benji) to write a book on Fülöp Ferenc – the exceptional traditional dancer from Decs in Hungary’s Sárköz region. The book will be released in 2025. Taba Csaba is well acquainted with the heritage of this traditional dancer – his diploma paper for the Hungarian Academy of Dance’s department of dance education was written on him, he has studied Fülöp’s verbunk and beautiful peasant dancing since 1980 – this material has influenced his own dance life and career. Here Taba Csaba tells about his search for Fülöp Ferenc’s grave and his mission to eventually move Fülöp’s remains to his native town of Decs with a grave site appropriately commemorating this traditional master of folk dance. By Taba Csaba ‘Benji’.
