Dances This Week

Friday Night Folk Dancing

Arlington, MA

As January winds down, close out the month with another wonderful Friday Night Folk Dance! Come down to Arlington and join Marcie Van Cleave on the dance floor for another energetic, fun-filled night of international folk dance. Requests are always appreciated--we love bringing back old favorites!

The Friday night fun continues on February 11 with Bulgarian Night, featuring live music by crowd favorites Zornitsa and Divi Zheni. A night not to be missed!

Monthly Dance Party

with Balkan Fields

At this month’s FAC party, we’ll dance to the fabulous music of Balkan Fields!

Musicians Dean Brown, Melika Fitzhugh, Henry Goldberg, Melinda Hunt, Ralph Iverson, and intrepid leader Melinda Fields will play for our dancing pleasure. This will be another pre-programmed party, featuring a mostly Balkan repertoire.

Join us for an evening of wonderful music, dance, and community! Contributions to the refreshments table are always welcome.
