Thursday night international folk dancing

Experienced level teaching and requests
8–10:45 pm most Thursdays, year-round

First Parish of Watertown Church lower hall,
35 Church Street at Summer Street, Watertown Square, Massachusetts

Admission $8 • FAC members $6 • Students $5

FAC’s Thursday folk dance programs feature mostly request dancing and limited teaching. Prior international folk dance experience is helpful, but many dances can be followed by watching the leaders. Teaching is usually done between 8:45 and 9:45 and may include reviews and talk-throughs of previously taught dances.

Please 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. Thank you!
