The Old Continent International Folk Dance Society

Home

Welcome to The Old Continent website!

We are a folk dance society in Derbyshire with the aim to revive and represent the folk dance traditions of Europe and the Mediterranean. You can learn, share and even teach folk dances of the 'old continent', have fun and meet new people at our informal sessions.

Important note:

Derby City Council has raised our rent, which we couldn't keep up with due to low attendance. The usual sessions at Pear Tree Junior School have stopped now.

From 12th May 2008 we pilot a few sessions at Michael House Steiner School in Heanor on the usual Tuesday nights.

The start time for the first week is 7:30pm, which may be moved to an earlier start, therefore it is strongly advised to give Cecilia a ring (07981 577738) before you decide to attend.
