Kárpátok Hungarian Folk Ensemble was founded in 1965 by a group of young Hungarian immigrants wishing to preserve their heritage. The name "Kárpátok" was chosen as a symbol of greater Hungary and the ensemble's repertoire include examples from all three dance dialects: Transdanubia, the great Hungarian Plains and Transylvania. In the last thirty years, more than 400 members have participated in Kárpátok. This figure becomes even more significant when one realizes that no member receives any monetary benefits. Practices are held Wednesday nights from 8PM - 10PM. Membership is open to all youths interested in Hungarian folk dancing and/or singing.
