Morristown Folkdancers

Morristown Folkdancers is one of the oldest groups in NJ, and we're still going strong. Come join us!

Our dancing draws from the dance traditions of Eastern and Western Europe, Israel, England, and Scotland. Partners are not needed.

We meet every Wednesday night, all year 'round.

During the "school year," we especially welcome beginners with a basics session for the first half hour. Teaching of more intermediate-level or advanced dances follows, with open dancing after that. See the detailed schedule below for meeting times and cost.

Our dancing home is the Mountain Lakes Community Church.
Here are directions as text and here is a nifty map.

Special events:
The first Wednesday of each month is party night, where we recognize our birthdays and anniversaries. Our annual dinner dance is in late spring, featuring a pot-luck meal of great delectables. The Wednesday closest to Halloween is costume night, where everyone brings horrorble snacks. During the year, we have workshops, featuring nationally famous choreographers.

Special special events:
