Welcome to DIFD
Join us Every Sunday!
Welcome to everyone--young or old, experienced or beginner! Please join us for a fun afternoon of international folk dancing. We meet Sundays from 2 to 4:00 pm at the beautiful Plaza Arts theater. (it has a wood floor for comfortable dancing) in historic downtown Carrollton. (Occasionally we meet instead at at You Can Dance Dallas so be sure to check below in Announcements)
The Dallas International Folk Dancers is a group of enthusiastic dancers who gather for the enjoyment and preservation of recreational folk-dancing. International folk dancing includes the traditional social dances of countries and cultures from around the world. It's fun and great exercise too. We hope to see you soon!

Greetings Villagers,
Thanks to everyone who helped make our send-off for Sylvia festive and fun last Sunday. Attached is the photo that was taken at the event. After dancing, about ten of us went out for burgers at Twisted Root.
Sunday, June 7 we will be dancing at the Plaza Arts Center at 1115 4th Avenue in Carrollton from 2:00 – 4:00 PM. Admission is $5.00 per person, cash only please.
We have a special guest that will be joining us for the afternoon and teaching one dance for us.
Ercüment Kılıç was born in Ankara, Turkey, to a Turkish-Azerbaijani family from Iğdır, near Mt. Ararat. He grew up in a family of dancers and musicians, and became an accomplished dancer and musician himself, teaching folk dances in many locations around the world, including at workshops in Texas.
Ercüment is a multifaceted figure bridging music, dance, cultural promotion, and civic leadership. His work has significantly influenced Turkish-American relations, and promoted Turkish and Azerbaijani culture internationally. Home Page - Ercüment Kılıç
Let’s have a another good turn out to welcome him this Sunday.
Go dancing this weekend!
