FS Vršatec

The folk ensemble Vršatec was founded in 1953. Initially, it was just a small singing group that had its first successful performance on May 1, 1953 in Dubnica nad Váhom. Gradually, it began to grow with a dance and music component, and the ensemble was formed in its current form in 1967. FS Vršatec quickly became one of the best amateur folklore ensembles in Slovakia due to its praised quality. So far, the ensemble has completed more than 2,000 successful performances at home and abroad. FS Vršatec had the opportunity to present its program nearly in all parts of Europe and also in many countries of Africa, America, Australia and Asia, where the artistic level and attractiveness of the performances were highly rated. The ensemble's repertoire is based on dance and music and singing numbers from various regions of Slovakia. During its existence, the group won many successes and awards in competitive parades and festivals.
