Practitioners

We want more people, and a wider range of people, in communities across England to experience and enjoy English folk music and dance.

Our Dance Development programme aims to support the development and flourishing of English folk dance in areas such as youth and adult learning, participation, and practitioner development.

We offer a wide range of professional development opportunities for teachers, educators and artists to develop their skills in folk arts education and participation.

Our Folk Education Network is the national networking group for folk arts educators from across England and beyond. Membership is free.
