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
