The weekend in Budapest starts on a Thursday and ends on a Wednesday. So for the first day of the weekend, you'd better find yourself something to do...

Gödör Táncház (Folk dance)

Gödör, 30th October, from 8, free
Erzsébet tér [map]
Pest Centre, VI, Deák tér (M1/2/3), 1 min

If your image of a táncház is old fogies in a stuffy community centre you're plain wrong, because this is where the hip young Hungarians be at. Sure, there may be more leaping and slapping and twirling around but that's not necessarily a bad thing. Tonight, Bivaly Zenekar and Csürrentö supply the happening folk with some happening folk.
