Community Dutch Dance Program

Have you always wanted to learn Dutch Dance but never had the chance? The Tulip Time Community Dutch Dance Program is the perfect place to start!

Join the fun and be part of one of Holland’s most beloved traditions. Whether you come as a full group of twelve, as a couple, or as an individual, we’ll help you find your place and get you ready to dance. It’s a joyful way to connect with others, celebrate our community’s Dutch heritage, and take part in the magic of Tulip Time each May.

For Returning Dancers:
If you’ve danced in the past and are looking to return after a few years away or you’d like to try a new dance position this program is also for you! Revisit your favorite “windmills” and “stars,” refresh your steps, and rebuild endurance in a fun, welcoming environment. It’s fantastic exercise, a wonderful social activity, and a great way to keep the Dutch Dance tradition alive!
