Recreational Dancing

What is it all about?

Folk Dancing is a recreational activity suitable for all ages and abilities. Our dances and music originate from traditional community gatherings in countries around the world. Because they reflect a variety of stories and celebrations, dances range from serene to exuberant.

What happens each evening?

After a short warm-up each evening, the group leader will teach a few dances step by step. The group then will practice additional dances as requested by members. Occasionally, guest folk dance instructors are invited to help us to expand our repertoire.

Dance Demonstrations

Surrey International Folk Dancers are available for demonstrating and/or teaching in the community. Please contact us to arrange a dance demonstration at your local event. In the past we have entertained at festivals, schools, and seniors homes.
