About Folk Dance New Zealand

Click to enlarge...

Folk Dance New Zealand was set up by folk dancers, for folk dancers, to get more folk dancing!

It aims to promote and support all types and functions of folk dancing by sharing information, resources and expertise.

Our sister organisation, Folk Dance Australia, has similar aims.

It is having fun inside the world's most exciting rhythms - Romanian, Greek, modern Israeli, etc.
It is exercise with laughter for people with no more than two left feet
It is sport, drama, and social interaction
It is a whole-self form of exercise, physically, mentally, and socially stimulating, giving a sustained (moderate) aerobic level. - much more fun and variety than a workout at the gym!
It is losing your stress in music that is exhilarating, haunting, or even soul inspiring
It is the exercise flavoured with Hungarian goulash and Russian Vodka!
