Learn non-partner folk dances from the Balkans and beyond with master dance teacher Lee Otterholt. Folk dancing is fun and great exercise for all ages. For this workshop, no prior experience is required!

Lee Otterholt is touring the East Coast for the first time since before COVID! We’re so pleased to welcome him back; his workshops are always great fun. Lee will match his teaching to the abilities of the group.

Lee’s teaching emphasizes style: dancing well, not just “getting the steps.” Whenever he can, he also tries to bring improvisation, self-expression and spontaneity back into the folk-dancing traditions where these elements are a central part of the tradition. And he never loses sight of the fact that we recreational folk dancers dance because it is fun, and because these dances mean something to us — just as they were fun and meant something to the village dancers before us.
