From the county of Somogy in southwestern Hungary, the Üveges & Botoló dances belong to the dance dialect of “swineherds” and “jumping” dances. The use of props (such as bottles and sticks) was an integral part of this people’s lifestyle—the shepherds would use sticks, and the cooks worked with the bottles. Finally, an energetic piece from the Szatmár region fills the stage with one of Hungary’s most beloved traditional dances.
