Folk Dance Encyclopedia
The Folk Dance Encyclopedia contains key information regarding many aspects of folk dance, including various dance and music tempos, specific dances, geographical regions, ethnic groups, and various historical figures. Many of the articles were written by Dr. Ron Houston and touch upon topics encompassed by the Archives of the Folk Dance Society.
The Society of Folk Dance Historians is currently seeking assistance in transforming its static Folk Dance encyclopedia into a dynmaic managed wiki. Students and individuals in need of volunteer hours may also contact the SFDH and obtain approved hours performing data entry and website formatting.
