Learn international folk dances SAFDF features workshops in beautiful and fun dances from all over the world, taught by world-renowned folk dance teachers. |
|
Enjoy lively dance parties Friday and Saturday culminate in parties featuring folk dance favorites that keep everyone, from complete beginners to seasoned veterans, dancing for hours. And there's great food too! |
|
|
Experience the concert of folk dance performances The SAFDF concert, held on Saturday night in the beautiful Thiry Auditorium, is a dazzling show of beautiful costumes, music, and motion by talented local performing groups and the occasional extra-special guests from far away. |
|
Broaden your horizons at the culture corner The workshop features an hour-long culture corner featuring one of the dance teachers or other dance luminaries. This session is enjoyable, educational, and nearly always full of surprises, with topics ranging from broad dance theory to how a rat running across a floor can inspire a dance. |
