Dance with us at Spring Festival!
SAFDF is proud to join forces with Laguna International Dancers to bring you Laguna-San Antonio Spring Festival — or just Spring Festival for short! — on March 12-14, 2021. This virtual event combines Laguna Festival and SAFDF in 2021 for three days of great teachers, live music, and the best fun we can attain without being physically near each other. Please visit our Spring Festival Web site for more info:

Thank you for September 12, 2020!
Thank you so much for the great success of SAFDF’s first virtual Technical Institute and Global Dance Party on September 12! We were delighted to feature:
- Mihai David and Alexandru David teaching Romanian dances
- Shirley Johnson playing live music for our dancing enjoyment
- A dance party featuring the most-beloved dances from 17 different folk dance groups (our villages!)
And an extra-heartfelt thanks to the folks below for their outpouring of generosity! We collected lots of donations that will help us bring you more events like this… and, of course, in-person events when it’s again safe for us to do so. You helped so much to make it possible!

Our spirit looks and hopes on!
We missed all of you at SAFDF 2020! Unfortunately, COVID-19 took that away. But it will not ever take away our spirit. We always look ahead to a bright future where we can again share dancing, music, costumes, and camaraderie.
Right now, our biggest goal is to ensure that all of you stay healthy and safe. So we’re not planning any in-person events until the COVID-19 pandemic subsides. Until then, you can look forward to more Technical Institutes and other similar fun events — year-round! Please continue to watch this site and your e-mail for announcements about these events.
And if you’re new to SAFDF … this site will show you the beauty of festivals past, and what we can all look forward to after we can be socially close again!
