Tuesday Night Folk Dancing parties and special events
TNFD Party on February 13, 2024, 7:30 PM – 9:30 PM Party on Mardi Gras like there is a tomorrow, because that tomorrow is Ash Wednesday and you’ve been partying for a week, and you still got some wild in you before you cage the beast. And that tomorrow is also Valentine’s Day, so you…
TNFD Party on December 19, 2023, 7:30 PM – 9:30 PM The 2023 December/Northern Hemisphere Winter Solstice on Thursday, December 21, 2023 at 8:27 PM MST, while those in the southern hemisphere will have to wait six months to celebrate Winter—you always wondered why they have “Christmas in July” sales. As usual, I am counting…
TNFD Party on October 31, 2023, 7:30 PM – 9:30 PM What are the odds that the 31st of October would fall on a Tuesday? It’s something like one in seven, with some distribution shift due to the particular leap year cycle. Now you have an excuse to turn off the lights and leave home…

TNFD Party on May 2, 2023, 7:30 PM – 9:30 PM My Fine Folks, We doubled up on special events in March, so we’ve had a dry April (dry of parties at TNFD, that is). May Day is probably the most appropriate, given the other choices: Mother’s Day, Armed Forces Day, & Memorial Day. May…
So much fun…so much confusion! But what else to do when St. Patrick’s Day is on a Friday, 3.17, Pi Day is on 3.14, and Spring starts on 3.21? It seems there is no other option than two have two nights of celebration. I’m sorry about the confusion, but you will thank me at some…
