Kengugró 40th Anniversary Celebration

CELEBRATION
40 years is a long time to be operating and we will be celebrating in style on Sunday 25 October. Join us at the Polish Club Ashfield for an afternoon of memories, live performances and táncház. The function room will be arranged with theatre-style seating so our audience can sit back and enjoy the proceedings. Kengugró, accompanied as always by The Transylvaniacs, plus a surprise performance including many of Kengugró's ex-dancers will entertain you in full costume, song and dance. Prepare yourself for a journey through Kengugro's wild and vibrant history.
After the performance, stick around for the táncház, where Norbert Rencz and members of Kengugró will have you twirling, stamping and clapping in no time.
FOOD
Please note that due to the theatre-style seating, we won't be serving food in the auditorium. Lunch is available from 12pm in the restaurant, where you can book a table with your friends before the show. Alternatively, you could stick around and enjoy a meal after the show in the bar or restaurant (dinner available from 5pm). If you have not yet been to the Polish Club, there is also a separate bar and lounge if you are looking for a quieter spot to chat before or after the show. Restaurant bookings: www.polishclub.au

ABOUT KENGUGRÓ & THE TRANSYLVANIACS
Kengugró embodies the vibrant colours and energy of the twirling, whirling, jumping, slapping dance culture from the Carpathian Basin.
Since its inception in 1986, Kengugró accompanied by The Transylvaniacs have presented a rich smorgasbord of dance, music and song from across this region. Their repertoire draws primarily on the traditions of Hungary, Slovakia and Transylvania which they have shared with audiences across Australia, Hungary and Europe. They hold regular táncház (dance-house) with The Transylvaniacs around Sydney, encouraging everybody to join in the fun.
The táncház method of teaching traditional dancing was inscribed on UNESCO’s List of Intangible Heritage of Urgent Safeguarding in November 2011. www.kengugro.org
