Bognor Regis Childrens International Folk Dance Class
Contact: Janet Douglas 01243 265010 or hello[at]interfolk[dot]co[dot]uk
During these classes, the children learn international folk dances and a little about the
national costumes and culture of countries from all over the world. The emphasis is on fun with the benefits of
exercise and mental stimulation coming as an added bonus. Janet Douglas chooses folk dances that the children enjoy.
As the children progress, they receive Society for International Folk Dancing (SIFD) certificates which can
be added to the children's records of achievement at school.
The dance lessons are held in everyday,
comfortable clothing with soft soled shoes - heels should not be worn.
The age range of the children is 7 upwards and parents are allowed to join in! Most of the children
join the display team and enjoy dressing up and performing before an audience.

These sessions run irregularly and allow the adults to practice international
folk dances for the display team and to plan for the display season. Sometimes the adults meet to practice particular
folk dances learnt at an international folk dance workshop. Unlike a regular class, these sessions
concentrate on a few folk dances in order to reach a high standard. The sessions when running are open to anyone who
is happy with a more informal but repetitive dance experience.
