Folk Dance Links

in the area

When the Wild Hog was being founded in 1978, there were few folk dances in the area. The coffehouse raised startup money by hosting a couple of traditional barn dances. Today the Hog rarely holds a dance, as there are now so many other dances in the area 30 years later. Here are some links that will help you find them. Be sure to check the calendar each week in Isthmus, too.
