Evening of Folklore Dances

  • Conkling Hall 8 Methodist Hill Road Rensselaerville, NY, 12147 United States (map)

Join us for Folklore Dances from Around the World, presented by Paul Rosenberg.

Paul will introduce us to international folk dances from more than 50 countries and African-American singing and play-party games as well as community dances from the Hudson Valley, United Kingdom, Appalachia, and New England.

Come kick up your heels to live fiddle music. We get everyone involved – from ages 2 to 102 — especially those who have not danced before. Besides fiddle, instruments in a family dance could include banjo, mandolin, flute, pennywhistle, clarinet, guitar, piano, recorder, accordion, dulcimer, percussion, and more. While participation in the dancing is encouraged — and it’s hard to sit still — it’s fun to just listen to the music and watch too!

A freewill donation will be appreciated.
