On the Kolozsvár-Szászrégen highway, in the village of Mócs, not far from the 39th kilometer marker, a paved road leads to the present-day village of Mezőkeszü. Its predominantly Hungarian population stubbornly clings to its identity in the slowly Romanianizing Mezőség.

Currently, the total population of the village barely exceeds three hundred. Although in 1950 the number of adherents to the Reformed denomination exceeded six hundred, industrialization and factory jobs, and then collective farms, consistently attracted-expelled people to the city. Although there are few children, the local kindergarten and the merged I-IV grade school still operate. The crisis in agriculture does not encourage much optimism, the aging population struggles apathetically for their daily livelihood, and the young aspire to work abroad. Although traditions, ancient songs, dances, and attire are still strong forces, they are noticeably weakening, and there is a fear that they will vanish.

Types of dances taught: csárdás, jumping dances, dense csárdás
