Deep in the Eastern Carpathians, this weeklong July gathering settles its students into the villages of Gyimesközéplok to learn Csángó and Szekler folk dance, music, and custom. Though it goes by the name camp, daily life among local families is as much the lesson as the dancing.

About Gyimes Dance Camp
Gyimes (Eastern Carpathians) is home to the Csángó Hungarian group with strong dance and music traditions. The camp teaches original dances and songs that have been preserved in isolation. It serves as an intensive folk school, reinforcing ethnic identity for young people from Transylvania and beyond. The remote natural setting adds to the authenticity, as participants often stay in historic wooden houses.
