International Folk Dance Summer School

University of Wales, Swansea.  7 to 14 August, 2010

SIFD Summer Schools

The Society for International Folk Dancing has organised a Summer School, more or less every two years since 1962.  Participants are dance enthusiasts and teachers from the UK and overseas.  In 2010 we shall be in Swansea again, home of the Summer School from its inception, apart from a break between 1987 and 2004 when we visited Aberystwyth, York and Durham.  The dances are taught as recreational folk dances, as far as possible faithful to their original village settings.  The material presented is of interest to dancers and those who teach, and in fact anyone with an interest in folk dance.  All levels of experience are welcome; only enthusiasm for dance and folk culture and a desire to learn are required.

The 2008 Summer School was very successful, and you can view pictures (see Photos 2008). 

The Society for International Folk Dancing is a UK-based, voluntary, non-profit-making, non-political association of people who enjoy learning and dancing folk dances from many countries.  It was founded in 1946.
