Twin Cities Folk Dance Village

Smiles, swirling skirts, clapping hands, arches, and a whole lot of energy filled the studio last week at Community Folk Dance Night.

We danced to Russian, Welsh, Turkish, and more - moving, laughing, and enjoying the wonderful variety of folk dance.

Another lively evening with a great group of dancers. Come join us next time!

We’re cancelling our regular dance session at The Center for Performing Arts on September 10 so we can join our friends, Orkestar Bez Ime, for their Courtyard Dance Party at University Lutheran Church of Hope in Southeast Minneapolis, from 7:00–8:30 p.m.

Come dance with us to these incredibly talented musicians!

And if you’re wondering whether you’ll know the dances, don’t worry. On Thursday, September 3, we’ll review some of the dances we do to live music so you’ll feel prepared to jump in and join us on September 10.

We’d love to see you there!

Community Folk Dance Night is this Thursday. Come join us for an evening of folk dances from around the world. You don't need experience to join the circle - we teach every dance, and new dancers are always welcome.

Come dance, learn something new, and enjoy the fun of figuring it out together!

Thursday, August 20
6:30–8:00 p.m.

We drove to Red Wing last Saturday to see the Tamburitzans perform. A group of us went together to have lunch and enjoy a fabulous show.

As recreational folk dancers, we have a particular appreciation for the skill, energy, and dedication that goes into a performance like this. The Tamburitzans were fabulous, so talented and fun to watch!

It's always a treat to get out and experience another part of the folk dance world, and even better to do it with dancing friends.

Last Thursday, we danced for an hour.

We shared a meal.

We laughed over Quiz Bowl.

People rearranged schedules to be there.

No one seemed to be in a hurry to leave.

That's our Village.
