Join us for an evening of folk dance for teens and young adults.
This dance is perfect for all abilities, even beginners; there will be instruction before each dance. Expect to learn and dance favorites like the Heel-Toe Polka and the Virginia Reel. No partners needed because all participants will take turn switching partners. If you can count to 8, walk forwards and walk backwards, this event is for you!

160 Hulnick Road, Coatesville, PA 19320
7-10 pm
$10 per dancer, cash, Google Pay, and Venmo accepted

Open to all high school students, college students, recent graduates and dance alumni. Dress as fancy or as casual as you like but avoid stiff jackets and floor-length skirts. Make sure shoes are comfortable and hold onto your foot. Expect to get quite warm as you dance, so we recommend you dress in layers. Don't think "I can't wear this!"
Light refreshments served. We recommend bringing a water bottle marked with your name. No advanced tickets are sold.
While this video represents the style of dancing you can expect at the Completely Anachronistic Fancy Dress Folk Dance, it was not filmed at one so the dress is more casual than usual.
The event is at the Ballroom in the Clubhouse at Hillview in Coatesville, PA about 7 minutes off of the Rt 30 Bypass. It is very close to the VA Hospital and is accessible from either the Rt 82 exit or the Reeceville Road exit.
We know that airborne viruses don't go away in the summer (Influenza, Covid-19, RSV). Please recognize that folk dancing involves holding hands and being within another individual's personal space bubble. Participants should follow the health precautions advised by the CDC but no precautions will be enforced. The ceilings of the hall are high, allowing for good air flow and ventilation. Wearing a medical or cloth face mask during dancing is fine. Hand sanitizers will be available for dancers to use in between dances. Bathrooms with multiple sinks are on site for washing hands before eating.
The Ballroom is on the top floor of the Hillview Clubhouse. Please use the two double doors on the front of the Clubhouse building by the loop. *This is different from the Christmas Dance*
There's lots of great, free parking in front of and to the side of the building.
There's an alcove off to the side of the ballroom that can make an excellent waiting areas for any drivers or parents waiting for the duration of the dance. There is free WiFi in the building.
After entering the double doors, dancers will check in and pay at the table before entering the Ballroom. Be ready to leave an emergency contact number. Cash, Venmo, Google Wallet and Paypal are accepted!
