Dancing in the Loop

A free outdoor dance series on Friday evenings for six weeks in the spring at the Market in the Loop in University City.  Easy ethnic dances done in lines or circles to beautiful and unusual music from around the world.  Passers-by are welcome and encouraged to join in.  Details on the coming spring's series will be anounced as the time approaches.

Dance Share

Dance Share is an informal gathering of folk dancers for the purpose of learning some of the more challenging and intriguing dances in the IFDA repertoire in a relaxed and supportive atmosphere relatively free from time constraints, taught or reviewed by other IFDA members.  Dance Share is held on Tuesdays at 8:00 p.m. at the University United Methodist Church (same location as regular dancing).  The charge is about $4 per night to help pay for renting the space (subject to slight increases if necessary to meet expenses).

During the fall of 2006 and spring of 2007, Dance Share featured Ajsino, Balta, Bicak, Alunelul Batut Nou, Kasapsko, Lamba Lamba, Radujevacko, Cetvorno, Cobankat, Kokice, Cekurjankino, Devollice, Marina, In Gradina lui Ion, Arnauteasca, Gjusevska Rucenica, and Tervelska Tropanka.

Dance Share has started up again as of March 11, 2008.  Dances recently taught or reviewed include Krivo Sadovsko (Bulgarian), Popvicanka (Serbian), Negotinka (Serbian) and Kotsari (Pontic Greek).  Now is the time to think about what dances you would like to have taught.  If you are interested in attending, or would like more information, please contact Gene Woodford at genew@accessus.net.
