Title
Aron Szekely -- Hungarian Folk Dancer
Description
Áron started dancing in Hungary in the teenage division of the Bartók Ensemble for a year and a half, but ironically, only fell in deep love with Hungarian folk culture at 17 years of age, after he came to New York. He was a dancer for the Manhattan-based Ritka Magyar Hungarian Folk Dance Ensemble for three years.
Folk dance and folk music have been present in his family since the day he was born, his father, Levente Székely, having been one of the most prominent folk violinists in Hungary, before becoming a diplomat. His mother, Hédi Sztanó, who is also an ethnographer and a film director, was a professional folk dancer for nearly 20 years, and the solo dancer for the prestigious Budapest Ensemble and the Hungarian National Folk Dance Ensemble.
Áron has taught dances from Jobbágytelke, Ördöngösfüzes, Keménytelke, Szatmár, Dunantul, Gyimes and Magyarszentbenedek in several Folk-Dance Houses (Táncház) and workshops in New York, New Jersey, Connecticut and the Washington DC area.
