Calgary Folkdance Fridays
Recreational International Folkdance Club (Folkdance Fridays)
Announcements
Friday, March 2 Dancing cancelled
Introduction
Recreational folk dancing is great exercise, relaxing, educational and fun. It is one of those rare activities that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. Over the past 25 years, Calgary Folkdance Fridays has been teaching traditional dances from around the world (and a few that aren't). Our traditional current selection consists of over 250 different dances taught by instructors who donate their time, expertise and enthusiasm for folk dancing.
Anyone can learn to folk dance. No special training is required; just wear comfortable non-floor marking shoes. You don't even need to bring a partner. Come out for a night of dancing and meet a new group of friends.

Join us for international folk dancing Friday nights from September until May. The first hour is devoted to warm-up and teaching new dances. This is followed by a request period. A wood floor makes dancing a dream and you will glide smoothly like you've danced all your life.
Instructors include: Ann Kyle , Ken Charkow , Laura Di Lembo and Ken Blackwood as well as other members of the group on occasion.
Newcomers are welcome, no partner needed and the first night is free. Membership is $20/year. Members can pay a semi-annual fee or a $4.00 drop-in fee for subsequent evenings. Non-members pay a $6.00 drop-in fee. Teens always welcome free of charge!
