This event commemorated the 20 year anniversary of the dance company and the recent release of its book entitled "Csardas Dance Company: A History". In attendance was author and Csardas founder, Richard Graber, who delivered a captivating talk accompanied by a PowerPoint presentation on the 20-year history of the dance company. Along with the presentation, Richard gave his summary of the rich 20-year history of Csardas and explained the reasons for the dance company ceasing operations in 2014. The standing-room only crowd reveled in the talk, asked questions following the presentation and then immensely enjoyed a cameo dance performance by Csardas Dance Company dancers. Directly following was a book-signing, raffle, Csardas grab-bag give-away to all attendees (which included a complimentary book), and wine and cheese reception. </span></span></span><br />

<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Csardas was happy to provide this FREE event to the general public of northeast Ohio to thank them for 20 wonderful years of support. Many special thanks to Eva Szabo and the Hungarian Heritage Museum for hosting this wonderful commemorative event! </span></span></span><br />

</b><span style="font-size: large;">Csárdás Dance Company had the wonderful opportunity of performing at Severance Hall Friday, February 26, 2016 in conjunction with <a href="http://csardasdance.com/events.htm" target="_blank">The Cleveland Orchestra's "Gotta Dance"</a> program. </span></big></big></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: large;"><br />Csárdás performed in the beautifully ornate rotunda to a captivated audience who greatly enjoyed our dances. Our dancers then offered simple Hungarian dance lessons which many children and adults participated in. Dancers conversed with audience members which consisted largely of children for this Family Concert event. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: large;">The Company then had the honor of performing on stage with the renowned Cleveland Orchestra. Dancers performed intricate Hungarian dance steps, choreographed by <a href="http://csardasdance.com/mac_director.htm" target="_blank">Richard Graber</a>, and instructed by <a href="http://csardasdance.com/PDF/stuart_judith.pdf" target="_blank">Stuart Meyer and Judith Horvath</a>, to </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Dvořák Slavonic Dance No. 1 in C Major.</span></span><br />

<h2 class="article-intro-text quote-lines" itemprop="description" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #cc0000;">Author Richard Graber chronicles history of dance company, shares insights on running nonprofit.</span></h2>
<div class="responsiveNews" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #38761d;">In 1994, author <a href="http://www.prweb.net/Redirect.aspx?id=aHR0cDovL2NzYXJkYXNkYW5jZS5jb20v" rel="nofollow">Richard Graber</a>
founded the Csárdás Dance Company, which would serve as the conduit for
him to share his cultural heritage through the art of dance. With “<a href="http://www.prweb.net/Redirect.aspx?id=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuZmFjZWJvb2suY29tL0NzJUMzJUExcmQlQzMlQTFzLURhbmNlLUNvbXBhbnktMjIxMzcyNzM3ODkwNTM0Lw==" rel="nofollow">Csárdás Dance Company</a>: <a href="http://www.prweb.net/Redirect.aspx?id=aHR0cDovL3d3dy5sdWx1LmNvbS9zaG9wL2h0dHA6Ly93d3cubHVsdS5jb20vc2hvcC9yaWNoYXJkLWdyYWJlci9jcyVDMyVBMXJkJUMzJUExcy1kYW5jZS1jb21wYW55LWEtaGlzdG9yeS9lYm9vay9wcm9kdWN0LTIyNDY5MTAwLmh0bWw/cHBuPTE=" rel="nofollow">A History</a>”
(published by Lulu), Graber presents a 20-year retrospective on the
story of how an ethnic dance company served as a vehicle for preserving
his cultural heritage through dance. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #38761d;">
</span></div>
<div class="responsiveNews" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #38761d;">The book was made possible through a grant from the <a href="http://www.prweb.net/Redirect.aspx?id=aHR0cDovL3d3dy5odW5nYXJ5Zm91bmRhdGlvbi5vcmcv" rel="nofollow">Hungary Initiatives Foundation</a>.
“Initially we were going to make a scrapbook full of pictures but
thought our work is worthy of more,” Graber explains. “The highlights
are preserved, pictures are scattered throughout and the work of the
company is captured with integrity and in such a way that I feel is much
more meaningful.” </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #38761d;">
</span></div>
<div class="responsiveNews" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #38761d;">Through this project, the son of Hungarian
immigrants further preserves his culture in the narrative of his life
story. Based on his personal experiences, Graber’s journey is intended
to be both a means of celebrating his own heritage and to inspire
readers to pursue the same. Graber also provides his insights and
philosophies on running a nonprofit organization.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #38761d;">
</span></div>
<div class="responsiveNews" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #38761d;">Ultimately, the author hopes readers will come
away knowing “Hungarian culture is amazingly rich and diverse” and
understand “nonprofit organizations do not need to live forever and
suspending of operations is not necessarily a sign of failure but on the
contrary, can be a smart move – dedication and tenacity pay off.”</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Csárdás Dance Company was honored to be invited to perform for the 90th Anniversary Celebration of the <a href="http://www.hbtclub.org/" target="_blank">Hungarian Business and Tradesmans Club</a> located at 15805 Libby Road in Maple Hts., Ohio. The celebration took place on Saturday October 19, 2013 and was attended by a sell-out crowd who reveled in the artistic dance performance of </span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Csárdás</span>.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">The crowd was awed by the graceful dances set to Brahms Hungarian Dances 5 and 6, the skillful bottle dance by the ladies in the dance company and amazed by the men's boot-slapping techniques. The company ended the performance with its signature dance from Szatmar with the full company giving all they had to end this tremendous performance.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Many kudos to performance instructors, Stuart Meyer and Judith Horvath, and all the dancers who performed for this most special occasion.</span><br />

Eleven members of the dance company visited Hungary for two weeks in July.<br /><br />Their first stop was Budapest and outlying towns and villages. While there, they toured Budapest (both Buda and Pest!), visited with Csárdás' costume designer, <span style="font-style: italic;">Rita Nánási</span>, visited Kalocsa where one of their dances and costumes is from, saw the shop where material for their blue-dyed skirts are from, purchased hand-made leather dance shoes from a village shoe maker, and visited a horse farm where they saw a wonderful equestrian performance.<br /><br />They witnessed 3 dance performances while in the Budapest area - the famed <a href="http://www.bartokdance.hu/"><i>Bartók Ensemble</i></a> , a group of 8 ladies from Kalocsa who performed in a beautiful <a href="http://www.1hungary.com/kek_duna_vendeglo/I311069/photo-1/">restaurant</a> on the shores of the Danube River, and <a href="http://www.csillagszemu.hu/"><span style="font-style: italic;">Csillagszemű (Starry Eyed) Dance </span><span style="font-style: italic;">Company</span> </a>(whom they would join the next week in a dance camp!). In Kalocsa our dancers had the memorable opportunity to perform a karikazo on stage - the performance truly touched the ladies from Kalocsa to see young American dancers upholding their heritage.<br /><br />The second week they traveled to the southern shores of Lake Balaton to join nearly 100 dancers from <a href="http://www.csillagszemu.hu/"><span style="font-style: italic;">Csillagszemű (Starry Eyed) Dance </span><span style="font-style: italic;">Company</span></a> of Budapest. This professional and highly acclaimed dance company of more than 300 youth ages 3 - 22 is directed by <span style="font-style: italic;"><a href="http://www.phantomranch.net/folkdanc/teachers/timar_s.htm">Sándor Timár</a></span>. Master Timár is the former artistic director of the <span style="font-style: italic;">Hungarian State Folk Ensemble.</span><br /><br />While at the dance camp, our dancers learned new and vibrant dance techniques and steps to bring back to Cleveland. Our youth ensemble also performed twice at the dance camp - our performances included dances from <span style="font-size:-1;">Sárköz</span>, Moldva, and a modern Transdanubian dance. Our performances were well received with robust rounds of applause and positive remarks from all who viewed.<br /><br />Our youth ensemble will be in rehearsals this winter with Founder, <a href="http://www.csardasdance.com/mac_director.htm"><span style="font-style: italic;">Richard Graber</span>,</a> and Rehearsal Instuctors, Stuart Meyer and Judith Horvath, to present our new material in 2008.<br /><br />Csárdás would like to thank all who supported our involvement with the dance camp including the <a href="http://www.chdp.us/">The Cleveland Hungarian Development Panel</a>, <a href="http://www.williampennassociation.org/index.htm">William Penn Association</a>, <a href="http://wcpn.org/">WCPN-Kapossy Radio</a> and individual supporters.<br /><br />In the meantime, enjoy our photos and our short 6-minute movie from Hungary!Csárdás Dance Companyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12860892384086403811noreply@blogger.com
