—
Jinx 103 is a breathtakingly energetic dance of lightning fast footwork, leg twisting and weaving, high kicks and turning jumps. It is also a vibrant body percussion with complex sound patterns of clapping and slapping, clicking and stamping.
This dynamic performance mixes traditional and contemporary dance and has engaged audiences around the world including Lebanon, Mexico, Cuba, Italy and South Africa.
Hungarians József Trefeli and Gábor Varga grew up in USSR and Australia respectively where each trained in both contemporary and traditional Hungarian folk dance. They came together to make Jinx 103, combining this common dance heritage learnt on opposite sides of the globe.
Why JINX 103? In many cultures, when two people accidentally say the same thing simultaneously, there is a tradition to say a word quickly to ward off bad luck – in English it’s “jinx”, while in Hungary it’s “103”.

Mae Jinx 103 yn ddawns syfrdanol o egnïol gyda thraed yn fflachio fel mellt, coesau’n chwyrlio a gwau, cicio uchel a llamu a throi. Mae ynddo sain taro corfforol yn creu patrymau cymhleth o glapio, slapio, cicio a stompio.
Mae’r ddawns ddeinamig yma’n cyfuno dawns draddodiadol a chyfoes. Mae hi wedi diddanu cynulleidfaoedd ar draws y byd yn cynnwys Libanus, Mecsico, Ciwba, yr Eidal a De Affrica.
Magwyd yr Hwngariaid, József Trefeli a Gábor Varga y nail yn yr Undeb Sofietaidd a’r llall yn Awstralia a bu i’r ddau ddilyn hyfforddiant mewn dawns werin draddodiadol a chyfoes Hwngari. Daethon nhw at ei gilydd i wneud Jinx 103 a chyfuno’r dreftadaeth ddawns gyffredin a ddysgodd y ddau mewn rhannau hollol wahanol yn y byd.
Pam JINX 103? Mewn llawer o ddiwylliannau, pan maw dau berson yn dweud yr un peth ar unwaith, mae traddodiad o ddweud gair yn sydyn wedyn er mwyn arbed rhag dioddef anffawd. Yn Saesneg “jinx” ydy’r gair hwnnw, ac yn Hwngareg, “103” maen nhw’n ddweud.
