In the second half of 2001 we studied dances
from Gemer (Gömör in Hungarian), which we
choreographed in 2002. The historical county of
Gemer is mostly populated by ethnic Hungarians,
unified by a local culture and dialect called Palóc. The
Gemer region is made up of smaller ethnographic
regions such as Medvesalja, Barkó vidék, and
Fennsík. Our choreography consisted of music and
dances from villages such as Gemerské Dechtice, |
Dubno,, Jestice, Studená, Večeklov, Gemerský Jablonec, Hostice, Ajnáčka etc. The members
of the Pitypang Ensemble are divided into two groups-beginners and advanced dancers-and the
choreography accommodates their appropriate levels. The instruction of smaller children
concentrates on games, rhythmic movements and spatial orientation on the stage.
