Dance the Night Away at the Hungarian Heritage House

Dance the Night Away at the Hungarian Heritage House

A Living Tradition in the Heart of Budapest

If you want to experience real Hungarian culture beyond sightseeing, spend an evening at the Hungarian Heritage House Dance House — where tradition comes to life through music, dance, and community. The new season of this beloved folk dance series begins on January 31, 2026 (Saturday, 7:00 pm) at the Hungarian Heritage House, Corvin tér 8., Budapest, 1011, in the stunning glass-roofed Atrium beside Buda Castle.

From that evening onwards, the dance houses will continue every Saturday from 7 pm to 2 am, turning the venue into a vibrant hub of Hungarian folk culture. Each event offers dance lessons, live music, and a welcoming atmosphere where locals and visitors connect through rhythm and movement.

A Dance Experience for Everyone

The Dance House warmly welcomes beginners and returning dancers alike. If you’ve never tried Hungarian folk dancing before, the beginner’s class offers an easy and fun introduction — helping you gain the basic steps to fully enjoy the later dance house sessions.

Each series focuses on the folk traditions of a particular Hungarian region. Over several weeks, participants can learn local dances from skilled instructors, culminating in a festive ball featuring musicians and singers from that same region. These lively celebrations, accompanied by some of the country’s best folk bands, often last well into the early hours.
