Edinburgh International Folk Dance Group

About Us

Learn dances from around the world in a relaxed and welcoming group. We cover a wide range of dances, and usually include a mix of styles and paces.

All levels welcome - from complete beginners to experienced dancers. Don't worry - there will be plenty time to walk dances through as you learn them.

No partner necessary (although you're welcome to bring one!).

Don't worry if you don't have dance shoes - wear something comfortable (no high heels to protect the floor).
