New Years Day 1/1/26 Zoom Dance 1pm; NOT meeting Fri 1/2/26

 We will be holding our annual afternoon New Years Day Folk Dance Party on Zoom,  Thursday Jan 1, 2026, 1pm-4pm.

We will *NOT* be meeting the following day, Friday Jan 2.

Reminder that we're also *NOT* meeting Friday Dec 5.  But we will meet as usual all the Fridays in between (Dec 12, 19, 26). 

 

Dancing on Zoom Black Friday 11/28, *NOT* meeting Fri 12/5/2025

 We're changing it up this year, and we *will* be meeting to dance on Zoom the day after Thanksgiving, Fri Nov 28, a.k.a. Black Friday.  It was suggested we point out what a bargain it will be, 50% off our usual price of $0! 😎

However, the change in plans that leaves us available on Fri Nov 28 also makes us *unavailable* the following Friday Dec 5, so we will *NOT* be meeting Fri Dec 5.

Stay tuned for details of the schedule around Xmas and New Years.

 

Not Meeting Fri July 4, 2025

We will not be meeting on Friday the 4th of July, so as not to compete with anyone's holiday plans.

Taking off one more Friday - not meeting 4/18/2025

 We're taking off one more week, and will NOT be meeting for Friday night dancing on Zoom Friday April 18, 2025 (Good Friday).  We look forward to seeing you again soon.  Happy Passover, Easter, etc.

Not meeting next 4 Fridays, 3/21, 3/28, 4/4, 4/11

 We're taking a 4-week hiatus from our usual Zoom folk dance meetings on Friday nights.  We'll keep in touch with a weekly e-mail if you're on our list, to point out upcoming events in the folk dance world, virtual or otherwise, with a "funny" at the end, and to send out a reminder when we resume our Friday Zoom meetings.

Here are some links where you can find other live and virtual folk/dance and related events in the meantime:

You can also check out the 5-years-worth(!) of annotated playlists from our Zoom dance sessions, which have links to dance videos, music, and dance descriptions  where available, so you can dance and listen to the music you enjoy from Friday dancing at your own convenience:

The Folk Dance With Henry youtube channel has lots of folk dance videos and playlists suitable for dancing along -- https://www.youtube.com/@folkdancewithhenry5122/videos

There are also 5 years of Zoom videos of Dit's Wednesday night Zoom/hybrid folk dancing archived on this youtube channel:  https://www.youtube.com/@Olshanr1 

Tons of dance descriptions, many with videos and links to music are available on the Folk Dance Musings blog:  https://folkdancemusings.blogspot.com/

 So, keep dancing, and we look forward to seeing you next month.
