Community Dutch Dance

The Community Dutch Dance training program is offered biannually. The next class will begin January 2014.

Participation
For those adults who have always wanted to learn Dutch Dancing but never had the opportunity before, the Tulip Time Festival Community Dutch Dance program is for you!
Newcomers......Are you new to the greater Holland area community?  Welcome! This is a great way to get involved in your community and meet new people!  No matter what your nationality, join the fun and celebrate your community’s heritage for a week each year in May.
Previous Dancers.......This program is also recommended for previous dancers who have not danced for a number of years or for those who are switching positions. This is a great way to “brush up” on those ‘windmills’ and ‘stars’ as well as build endurance. It is a great exercise program and a lot of fun! There is no fee to participate.

Costumes
Our costume director, Janet, will work with you to find the right costume! Assistance is available for those who wish to dance, but have concerns due to financial hardship.
