The group....
Csűrdöngölő Folk Ensemble, Inc. (Csűrdöngölő) was established in 1998 and in 2008 became a non-profit, tax exempt organization dedicated to learning, preserving and promoting Hungarian culture. Over the years, Csűrdöngölő, whose members are first, second, and third generation Hungarian-Americans, has evolved into one of North America’s leading ethnic folk dance ensembles. The group performs at the local Hungarian national holiday commemorative programs, Hungarian-American social events such as charity balls, spring, harvest, and cultural festivals within NJ and NY communities. We organize children and youth folk programs, participate in cultural educational events at public schools, universities, museums and county festivals. The group presents an annual large scale performance showcasing Hungarian folklore. Members of Csűrdöngölő instruct the children’s folkdance group (Mákvirág) at the Hungarian-American Athletic Club (HAAC). Csűrdöngölő organizes numerous dance house events which are open to the public, providing an opportunity to learn Hungarian folk dance and music from various regions.

Közlemény: A Csűrdöngölő táncegyüttes a 2022-es évben (akárcsak a 2018-as, 2019-es, 2020-as és 2021-es években) a Bethlen Gábor Alaptól kapott anyagi támogatást tevékenységének további sikeres folytatása érdekében. A Csűrdöngölő 2022-ben a BGA pályázati forrásból bérelte a HAAC-et és a PA-i magyar tanyát, valamint a május 14-i műsor költségeit részben fedezte. Announcement: In 2022 (just like in 2018, 2019, 2020 and 2021) the Csűrdöngölő dance ensemble received financial support from Gábor Bethlen Foundation (BGA) to continue its activities successfully. In 2022 Csűrdöngölő used the BGA grant funds to rent the HAAC and the magyar tanya in PA and also to partially cover the expenses of the show on May 14.
