During these classes, the children learn international folk dances and a little about the national costumes and culture of countries from all over the world. The emphasis is on fun with the benefits of exercise and mental stimulation coming as an added bonus. Janet Douglas chooses folk dances that the children enjoy. As the children progress, they receive Society for International Folk Dancing (SIFD) certificates which can be added to the children's records of achievement at school.

The dance lessons are held in everyday, comfortable clothing with soft soled shoes - heels should not be worn. The age range of the children is 6 upwards and parents are allowed to join in! Most of the children join the display team and enjoy dressing up and performing before an audience.
