Scottish country dancing, often abbreviated to SCD, is a form of social dance that involves couples in groups called sets. The couples typically stand facing each other in lines and trace progressive patterns that differ from dance to dance. The figures are repeated by each couple in turn. There are fast dances (hornpipes, jigs, and reels), and slow dances (strathspeys). The New York Branch offers classes on Thursday evenings at Metro Baptist Church, 410 West 40th in New York. |

We are a recreational folk dance club catering to all levels of folk dancers, from beginners through advanced dancers.
As we joyfully resume in-person dancing, we will begin each evening with easier dances selected by the person doing the dance programming for that evening. After the first half hour of warm-up dances, we will follow an all-request format for the rest of the evening. We aim to be flexible and responsive to t he dancers, and we can pauseto provide teaching and review of a particular dance "on the fly", so don't be shy about joining us if you are new to folk dancing, and speak up if you want all or part of a dance reviewed. Later in the year we will resume our scheduled teaching and review of new dances.
"Dance Cards" that you punch each time you attend a class may be purchased in class on Sunday nights. The cost is $35 for five sessions, or $70 for ten sessions. If paying by check make the check out to "Davis International Folkdancers". You can opt to pay $7.00 per session, if you prefer. The punch cards will not expire, so you can come when it is convenient - no penalty if you miss a session.
For first time folk dancers only, your first visit is free.
COVID-19 RESTRICTIONS FOR NOW
N95 or equivalent masks must be worn and you must have had COVID-19 shots. Hand sanitizer will be available. Bring your own water bottle or a cup to fill in the kitchen. Please stay home if you have had symptoms or have been exposed. |

East Bay Folk Dancers mainly enjoy Balkan folk dances, but the repertoire extends as well to Israel, Greece, Hungary, Turkey, Armenia, and Albania, with frequent forays beyond.
The dances played are entirely by request, so if you have dances you would like to do, just come with their names. The evening begins with simple dances that all can do, but includes intermediate and advanced dances later on. We are always ready to help newcomers pick out requests they might enjoy, and guide them in learning dances.
East Bay Folk Dancers is a dedicated and welcoming dance community with an unbroken history since meeting for dance on the lawn on the UC Berkeley campus in the early 1960s. East Bay Folk Dancers is organized as a collective without specific leaders.
The cost is $5, with your first night free.
Dancers are requested to wear N95 grade masks and for their first night they will need to show that they have been vaccinated and boosted for COVID-19.
At present there is no teaching, but it may start up again at some point. You might want to get on our weekly mailing list, which announces special upcoming events as well as the very occasional Friday that the Veterans Hall is not available to us. |
