Edmonton’s Csárdás Hungarian Folk-dance Ensemble has provided performance and training in Hungarian folk-dance and related art forms since 1975. Csárdás operates within the Canadian Hungarian Cultural Society of Edmonton.Our group’s twin goals are promotion and preservation of these fascinating dances, alongside the traditional clothing, crafts, customs, and celebrations that form part of our diverse Hungarian cultural heritage.
Csárdás welcomes youth and adult dancers who are interested in exploring this remarkably rich dance material. Children and youth from ages 4 to 17 are introduced to regional styles of Hungarian folk dance, as well as learning that singing and dancing go hand-in-hand among Hungarians! Adults receive in-depth instruction to expand their knowledge of the myriad distinct Hungarian dance dialects, as well as training in improvisational folk-dance: the latter is an intrinsic aspect of Hungarian folk-dance. Csárdás performs an average of 25 times per year – at events from weddings to conferences, and festivals to theater programs – across Alberta and western Canada.

It is in her introspective lyrics that you will find a true honesty and acceptance of the path it takes to create growth. This is what led Woods to create a new moniker for her musical endeavours - "Of Candor". In writing about relatable although contrasting themes of hopeful anticipation and heartbreak, Brooke found that many of the things that we as humans feel the deepest or want the most are also the things we keep hidden deep below the surface, safely tucking away our vulnerability.

C’est dans les paroles introspectives d’Of Candor que vous trouverez l’honnêteté et le chemin de l’acceptation qu’il faut pour grandir. C’est ce qui a mené Brooke Woords à créer un nouveau surnom pour son nouveau projet musical - “Of Candor”. En écrivant sur des sujets auxquels ont peut facilement s’identifier et en contrastant les thèmes d’espoir et de détresse, Brooke a réalisé que plusieurs choses que nous ressentons en tant qu’humain, ou ce que nous désirons, se trouvent enfouis profondément en nous, notre vulnérabilité bien à l’abri.
