International Folk Dancing
Hocombe Hall
Thursday evenings - 7.15pm-9pm - Hocombe Hall
Welcome to our International Folk Dance group!
Join us for an evening of dancing to the unusual rhythms typical of international folk dance.
Our dances are mostly from eastern Europe and the Balkans plus a scattering from other regions of the world.
Dances are of various levels of difficulty to strike a balance between the abilities of those present
and although generally not taught, some may be reviewed or explained more slowly and in depth.
No special clothing is required, but soft shoes are recommended.
We are affiliated to the Society for International Folk Dancing
which for over 70 years has encouraged
- people to learn traditional dances from many countries
- the enjoyment of the dances’ varied styles and music
- the pleasure of congenial company through dancing
- the satisfaction of continuing age-old traditions
- the benefit of sociable exercise, increased fitness and co-ordination
