Family Folk Dancing

What is family folk dancing?  First let’s look at what it is not.  It is not a show dance, it is not a technical combination of difficult elements,  and it is not something for the individual to show off with.  The folk dancing we teach is based on contra dances which are primarily English, Scottish and Irish in origin,  They are simple to learn and easy to dance.  All ages are welcome and the dances lend themselves to adjustments to accommodate all.  The goal of social dance is to socialize thus, the dance might not be worth of a stage but will be filled with laughter and smiles.   The music used can be varied to fit any theme you desire from old world classical, western hoedown,  to modern pop music.
