Organizer
Manitoba International Folk Dance Association
The Manitoba International Folk Dance Association is a recreational dance group, open to everyone who shares our enthusiasm for folk dancing. Since the 1970s our non-profit organization has promoted the folk dances and music of countries and ethnic regions from around the world, building a repertoire of hundreds of dances that are accessible and fun. We feature a wide variety of dance styles - from circle dances to set and couple dances, from line dances to mixers, some are more aerobic, some are slower. We dance every Friday night from September through June at this location.
