Websites     Top Of Page

If a group's name is underlined, it maintains a web site you can immediately visit by clicking on the group's name. A stop at the web site (assuming the group regularly updates it) should give you the latest news about the group's dances, special events and other activities. Although we checked out each web site when we listed it, we're not responsible for those which contain errors or no longer exist.

Have We Overlooked You?     Top Of Page

Although we welcome listings from all folk dance groups in the state and would like all of them to be listed below, it's inevitable some groups will be missing. This may happen because we and the group don't know about each other or because the group has chosen not to be listed. So, if you're aware of a folk dance group not listed below which you're NOT involved in running, please tell us about it using the Suggesting a Group form on our Suggesting a Group page. Also, if you ARE involved in running a folk dance group not listed below or listed incorrectly, please use the Listing a Group form on our Listing a Group page to submit a new listing or correct the current one. Finally, if you know of a web site presenting information about folk dance in this state which is missing from our Links section on this page, please use the Suggesting a Link form on our Suggesting a Link page to let us know about it.

The Format Of A Listing     Top Of Page

We've tried to make all listings as easy and intuitive to use as possible. However, if you're unsure how we've arranged the listings on this page, how we've organized the information in each listing, what's supposed to be included and not included in each listing, how to find groups doing a specific type of folk dance or anything else, please visit our Using the Listings page for help.

The Fee For A Listing     Top Of Page

Starting January 1, 2003, all groups appearing on this page have paid an annual listing fee and authorized a responsible party to submit all information for publication using one of our
