About the Dances
Marcie Van Cleave and guest teachers provide a fun program for new and experienced dancers alike at FAC’s Friday Night Folk Dancing. In a typical evening, several dances are taught or called, and most others can be followed by watching the leading dancers. It is not necessary to have previous dance experience or to attend with a partner.
Footwear and Fragrance Suggestions
To help protect the hall’s wooden floor by changing to clean, soft-soled shoes before dancing. For the comfort and well-being of all our dancers, especially those with allergies or asthma, please do not wear perfume or fragranced personal products at our dances.
