YouTube - International Fest: Hungarian Reformed Church dancers
I'm at least a sociology hobbyist, and in these dances I see a good-natured church consistory (parishes' elders) decided what mixing of boys and girls, young women and young men, the intergenerationality, the more and less success in giving a trim performance ... but the good spirit and actually the demonstration of a religious communal identity in socializing and in physical performance. Dancing that good suggests participation in the Reformed Church dance group, a class perhaps once a week and then perhaps a week away from other studies and duties, to work more intensively in shaping up their readiness for a performance. Or tour. As these particular non-performers did wonderful amateur — but not fantastic. There were moments when images of circles of girls and young women — sororities! The destiny of the line of young men (short to tall) facing the line of young women (again, sort to tall) — for the sorority there comes a breakdown, a breakdown of sorority, as the edge of the mating dance brings the women fact to face with the men, upclose and ritual, a silent undertone comes to the surface suggesting the narrative source is the courting dance of the ancient clans of free-choice marriage. Perhaps Magyars and Germanics of the Hungarian Reformed Church, but I am noting from the standpoint of my hobby that at least one of these dances was brawt into the dancing canon by the elders and pastors of Hungarian Reformed Church at a certain point, or period of time. Whether from far earlier provenance or choreographed just so for the show, a few moments of joyous and artistically-disciplined popular culture indigenous to at least one parish of the Reformed Church in Hungary.
