Csárdás Youth Ensemble is a unique program that celebrates the
universal joys of ethnic dance. The program, founded in 1996 by
Founder, Richard Graber, has proven to be a wonderful experience for
youth performers as they learn about Hungarian culture, music and
dance, develop coordination skills, meet other children and experience
performing at an early age. Csárdás reveals the richness of a unique
culture through performances featuring a broad range of dance dialects
and styles. Csárdás Youth Ensemble has helped children get acquainted
with their own ethnicity. In doing so, the activity helps bridge gaps
of second, third or later generations through the art form of dance.
Equally as important and valuable, dancers learn proper dance
studio/company etiquette. Dancers also are put in an environment to
learn from different instructors and choreographers with varying
teaching styles and techniques.

Past Csárdás Youth Ensemble performances have included the Ohio State
Fair, Severance Hall, Kent State University, Playhouse Square, Berea
Oktoberfest, Tower City Amphitheatre, Cleveland Museum of Art, Kodály
Music Educators Conference, Blossom Music Center, Cleveland State
University, Cuyahoga Community College, Rock & Roll Hall of Fame,
Trinity Cathedral, Lorain Palace Civic Center, Kenny Crumpton Show
FOX-8 television, as well as many schools and educational facilities
throughout Ohio and neighboring states.  The Youth Ensemble visited
Hungary in summer 2007 to participate in a Dance Camp with Sandor Timar.
