FolkdancersMorristown Folkdancers is one of the oldest groups in NJ, and we're still going strong. Come join us!
Our dancing draws from the dance traditions of Eastern and Western Europe, Israel, England, and Scotland. Partners are not needed.
We welcome beginners with a special beginners' session for the first hour. Teaching of more intermediate-level or advanced dances follows, with open dancing after that.
We meet every Wednesday night, 7:30pm till 11:00pm.
Our dancing home is the Community
Church in Mountain Lakes.
Here are
directions as text and here is
a nifty map.
Special events:
The first Wednesday of each month is party night, where we recognize
our birthdays and anniversaries. Our annual dinner dance is in late
spring, featuring a pot-luck meal of great delectables. The Wednesday closest
to Halloween is costume night, where everyone brings horrorble
snacks. During the year, we have workshops, featuring nationally
famous choreographers.
