Winter Chaser

The Ottawa Hungarian Community Centre organized a dance event on the 22nd of February. The music was supplied by the members of the Attila Zónai Band who are well known within the Hungarian communities in Canada. They form a complete band by playing the violin, guitar, bass guitar, keyboards, drums and percussion instruments. They have a vast repertoire encompassing several genres of many decades of music, both Hungarian and international. Our members – young and older – enjoyed the opportunity to dance to the music of the ensemble.

Polish-Hungarian Dance Show

The  Polish-Hungarian Dance Show entitled Polak, Węgier Dva Bratanki (Polish, Hungarian Two Brothers) was a  great success at the Ottawa Hungarian Community Centre. The show featured the Polanie Dance Group, The Tulipán Hungarian Dancers and students of the Ottawa Hungarian School performing traditional Polish and Hungarian folk dances. After the show the audience also had an opportunity to try these dance steps. The event was organized by Dóra Nagy, the representative  of the Kőrösi  Csoma Sándor Program. The house was bursting at the seams, great quantities of sausages and wieners were consumed and the bar also operated at full capacity. The event was a great opportunity to foster the traditional Polish-Hungarian friendship.
