Young couples performing

This video isn't mine, but it was taken at the Sunday gala, when the band in my first picture from this year's event were playing. It's a bit long, but it really shows Hungarian folk music and how everyday people really get into dancing to it. It starts out slowly and after 16 minutes and a dizzying speed of playing, only a few couples are left on the floor. It's worth watching http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QjNETRdUalI for a sense of Hungary and the Hungarians.

This is the band in the video, which I was so taken with when they were playing downstairs http://www.pbase.com/helenpb/image/142479227

Great catch on these dancers. That video was great, they looked exhausted when the music ended.
