The Dance Gypsy’s

List of Dance festivals

The links on this page are known to locate existing contra, folk or other traditional dances, thus providin access to these listings without going through the regular Dance Gypsy search process. This is useful for many reasons:

Note that all dance searches provide a limited number of dances. In most cases, a simple state-style search will include all known events. For a very few states (e.g., Massachusetts) or styles (e.g., contra) there will be too many to list in a single search. But this shosuld find at least one example from every known dance festival. Also note that the Dance Gypsy now lists regularly-scheduled events throughout the US and Canada (not just New England). Some states may not yet have any dances listed. You may list dances sponsored by you organization atdance at www.thedancegypsy.com.

All dances in the Dance Gypsy by state.
