The Folk Arts Center is ecstatic to present, once again, this free, outdoor, multi-genre, participatory dance series! Begun in 1970 by Conny and Marianne Taylor, the weekly summer fun continues to delight Boston and area residents, visitors, and local and visiting folk dancers.

Each dance offers instruction by an experienced leader, live or recorded music, and a welcoming atmosphere. It is not necessary to have previous dance experience and a partner is not necessary.
