Come Dance With Us---Or Let Us Dance For You!

Regular Location: HPER Building

HPER Building Information:
On the campus of the University of Nebraska-Omaha, the
HPER building is the campus rec center, just south of the field house.
Park in front of the building. Stop at the front desk and tell the
attendant you're there for folk dancing so you can get in without a student
pass. The dance lab is on the second floor as far to the south and
east as you can go.
Because UNO sometimes changes hours without much advance notice, we strongly recommend that you call ahead to check on location.
To book a performace, call Jennifer (402-558-3475H or
402-554-2609)
For other information, contact Carol at 402-391-4765
or at carolgq@cox.net.
We do dances
from many countries mostly (but not all) European. We learn these dances
from various performers and folklorists who travel through the U.S. teaching
them at workshops. Sometimes we host workshops in Omaha.
We usually teach beginners for the first part of our sessions, then teach more challenging
dances and have request dancing until we conclude The schedule
is flexible and depends on demand.
No partner
needed -- many of these dances are done in a line. We are always
happy to have visitors!
If you want
to listen to the kind of music that International Folk Dancers dance to,
try the online radio program "Music from the Hills," hosted by international
folk dancer John Uhlemann from Saint Louis. His program is on KDHX
out of Saint Louis on Saturday afternoons at 4:00. Also try another
great international folk music program, "Folks of the World," on KDHX,
Wednesday mornings at 9:00. To listen online go to http://www.kdhx.org
