Thursdays 7:00 - 10:00We teach dances every week!
IFDA’s weekly International Folk Dances are attended by people, most
of whom are not members of Meetup.com. Since you are reading this, you
are probably looking to try something different and indeed we are.
We enjoy doing dances from many countries and ethnic groups from all
over the world. The music ranges across traditional folk styles, to
contemporary styles, through a fusion of folk and contemporary music.
The dances are fun and exciting as the dance rhythms are a blend of
the common forms (2/4, 3/4, 4/4, 6/8) and of the unique forms (5/16,
11/16, 7/8, 7/16), sometimes called crooked-music because of the odd
numbers of beats.
You won t need a partner as many of the dances are danced in circles
and semi-circles that do not require partners. We also do a some line
dances, some partner dances and some set dances that require groups of
couples. You ll meet people from a wide range of backgrounds and you
ll have a great time.
It takes some dancers a little time to get used to the different types
of dances and music, so don t expect to learn everything on your first
night - there is a lot to be learned, and in the end it s worth the
effort.
No formal attire needed; just wear comfortable clothes and shoes. We
look forward to dancing with you!
