Regular Dancing - Every Thursday
International folk dancing meets every Thursday evening in the
Kuhn Barn ( the Hi Rise during the summer )
at Fermilab. The Barn is located on the east side of the
Fermilab site just north of Batavia Road on Sauk Blvd.
Park in the regular lots
One may enter
the lab from either the east or west gate. If the guard asks what you
are attending, tell him/her that you are going to folkdancing. All will
be well. If you need further directions, the guard will be happy to
help. Or send an e-mail and we can forward detailed directions (see
below)
Dancing starts at about 7:30 pm. Beginners as well as
experienced dancers are always welcome. In a typical evening, we enjoy
the company of dancers of many levels and ages (from ~7 to 70+ )
There is teaching and easier dancing early in the evening, more advanced
and request dancing later in the evening.
Dances from around the world are done - line dances, circle dances,
couple dances, individual dances. You don't need to come with a partner.
