All Souls’ Day dance party in the Królestwo
On Thursday, 6 November, we will meet at Królestwo for another Csángó dance party.
Asia Mieszkowicz will lead the dancing and help with catching rythms and steps.
The Bratanika band will perform, featuring Magda Olkiewicz and Farkas Gyulai from Budapest.
The November meeting will also have an All Souls’ Day element – we will remember the Masters who are no longer with us in body, but we are here to carry on the traditions.
Bring comfortable shoes, gentlemen shirts, ladies preferably skirts/dresses.
The event starts at 7 p.m.
Admission is free, but as usual, you can voluntarily contribute to the artists and open enclave.
Who are the Csángó?
The Csángó people are a Hungarian minority originating from the regions of Moldavia and Gyimes — areas that lie on both sides of the Eastern Carpathians, now within Romania but once part of the Kingdom of Hungary. Having lived for centuries in isolation from their homeland, the Csángó preserved their traditions and identity up until the fall of communism in the late 1980s. Thanks to their unique location and rich history, Moldavian Csángó music is a vibrant blend of Balkan, Jewish, and Roma melodies, while the dances are mostly archaic circle dances, though there will also be line and couple dances. You can learn more about Csángó culture at About Csángó.
Where is the dance party?
The Kingdom Without Limit is an open enclave at 18 Biskupia Street in Kraków, combining elements of a cultural centre, a café, a workshop, a museum, a library, a university, a coworking space, your grandmother’s house and a place you’ve probably always missed. The Gate is open Monday to Saturday from 4pm to 11pm.
In harmony with people and nature
Our dance party is organized in accordance with Green Event standards, which means we pay special attention to human well-being and respect for nature:
