Hungary's Csardas Dance Added to UNESCO's 'Intangible World Heritage' List

• 6 Dec 2024 10:34 AM

The Csardas dance tradition of Hungary was inscribed in UNESCO's Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity.

The decision was made at the meeting of the Intergovernmental Committee for the Safeguarding of Intangible Cultural Heritage under way in Asuncion, Paraguay.

The Szentendre Open-Air Museum, the Hungarian coordinator of the agreement on preserving intangible cultural heritage, said in a statement that the committee highlighted the dance's role in communities in its assessment.

The statement said Csardas was present in all Hungarian communities in various versions, and remained an important fixture of Hungarian celebrations.

It was being passed on by professional and amateur dancers, in schools and summer camps as well as modern media, the statement said.
