Founded in 2011, Carpathia Folk Dance Ensemble is a D.C.-based multi-ethnic folk-dance group that has become well-known for its authentic performances of Romanian traditional dances. The all-volunteer group performs dances from all regions of Romania and includes both performers of Romanian origin and people who, without having Romanian roots, are nevertheless fascinated with Romanian culture and tradition. During our event, you can watch Carpathia perform a variety of Romanian dances such as Alunelu’, Rustem, Geamparale, and more.
