Something Old and Something New: Exploring Traditional and Contemporary Approaches to Folk Dance

Thursday May 14, 2026 3:00pm - 3:55pm EDT

Memorial Union Bangor Room @ China Rd, Orono, ME 04473, USA

Based on compilations such as Dance Music for Children by the Shenanigans, Rhythmically Moving by Phyllis Weikert/Gemini and the New England Dancing Masters, participants will revisit some "tried and true" folk dances they may not have taught in a while. In addition, the clinicians will sprinkle in some new ideas that students will enjoy. Come prepared to dance!
