The documentary Come to Dance! was screened on Saturday, February 28, at the Hungarian Reformed Church in Newark, followed by a virtual audience discussion with the film’s director. The film offered a fascinating glimpse into the world of Hungarian folk dance while raising thought-provoking questions about tradition and contemporary society.
The discussion that followed explored gender roles in dance and beyond, personal boundaries, traditions, and the evolving perspectives on what is considered acceptable today. Participants shared personal memories and lived experiences, creating an engaging and meaningful exchange of ideas.
Thank you to everyone who joined us and contributed so openly to the conversation. It was a memorable, inspiring, and enjoyable afternoon that brought our community together through dialogue, reflection, and a shared appreciation of culture.
