Episode Synopsis

Steve Kotansky has been a prolific folk dance teacher, performer and researcher for five decades, and has probably taught more Hungarian dancing to non-Hungarians in the U.S. than anyone else.  Interview highlights:  

- what makes Hungarian dancing so special; 

- insights from the masters; 

- teaching from the ground-up rather than from the head-down; 

- fortuitous missed train connections; and 

- an inspirational pep-talk for all dancers.  

Released on August 14, 2020.
