Folk dance encompasses dance traditions of the world, spanning geography and time. Inspired by such traditions, recreational folk dance is accessible and inclusive, celebrating at once the diversity and universality of the human experience. Life-long, life-enhancing, life-affirming, folk dancing is also the best fun on the planet!
About Folk Dance New Zealand
Folk Dance New Zealand was set up in 1995 by folk dancers, for folk dancers, to get more folk dancing.
We aim to promote and support all types and functions of folk dancing by sharing information, resources and expertise.
Anyone can join – as a group or individually. Membership opens up the world of folk dance as it is experienced in New Zealand: connection, resources and support from folk who love to dance.
