Columbus Folk Dancers
About Us
Since 1953 the Columbus Folk Dancers (CFD) have gathered to experience first-hand (and first-foot) the joys of learning and doing dances from around the world. These line, circle and couple dances come from a wide variety of countries including (to name just a few!) Albania, Bulgaria, England, Greece, Hungary, Israel, Romania, Sweden and Turkey.
At least one dance is taught or reviewed every week, and many others are easy enough to follow. No partner is required; we’ll pair up when needed. We don’t wear special costumes, but we recommend comfortable shoes.
We usually dance to recorded music - party nights and special events may include live music. In addition to dancing every Wednesday evening, we
may host an occasional mini-workshop. See Special Events here.
We pay rent! Your first visit is free; thereafter please pay $3 per night. Support us and save money by becoming a member.
CFD is governed by a committee elected from among its members.
CFD is a member of the Recreational Folk Dancers of Columbus.
