Family Folk Dance Night - New Schedule!

Big News!

The club voted last night to combine Family Folk Dance Night (FFN) with Party Night, held on the third Friday of each month. This breaks the more than 5-year tradition of FFN happening on 4th Fridays, and allows for a more festive atmosphere for all. Starting on February 18, we'll meet to dance at 7, and the party will begin around 8:15.

4th Fridays will now become Beginners' Nights, with members of the club rotating to teach simple dances and encourage newcomers to develop their confidence for dancing with us on other Fridays, too. This will begin with Friday, February 25th. The evening will begin at 8 pm.

Other aspects of our schedule remain the same. Join us!
