Here's a snapshot at Grey Bruce One World Festival. Kids who were in classes GBIFD have done workshops with were pleased to see us there; even those who were not too keen to dance during workshops eagerly joined in. A few of them even returned to do more after visiting other activities on the site!
Folk Dancing facilitates personal and social development in a fun and engaging way, helps build self-confidence, improve co-ordination, balance, sense of rhythm etc.; it promotes leadership skills and teamwork; it opens our eyes to different cultures in the world. "Dance is music made visible"(George Balanchine); and those who play music together stay together. GBIFD members dance to build a healthy community!

Next Up, Workshop at Canada Day Celebration
Owen Sound celebrates Canada Day at Kelso Beach. This year, GBIFD will be joining the team of activity providers and hosting a 45 minutes Let's Dance at 3pm. Unlike Grey Bruce One World Festival whose main audience is elementary school classes, the Celebration is a family event. We are looking forward to having parents/grandparents joining us and their children/grandchildren! Folk dancing sets no age boundary.
