Join us for Texas Camp 2024:
November 28 – December 1
at Greene Family Camp in Bruceville, Texas!
We are proud to announce our dance teachers for this year:
Couple-dance teachers: Nick & Melissa Enge — Foxtrot and Other Social Dance Favorites
Under the expert guidance of the Enges, we’ll polish up the couple-dancing skills we need to feel more relaxed and confident (and have more fun) at folk dance events, weddings, class reunions, clubs, and those classic Texas dance halls.
Line-dance teacher: Joan Bennett — Favorites from the International Folk Dance Repertoire
The fabulous Ms. Bennett returns, with more IFD favorites: we’re talking line dances, solo dances, circle dances, and more. If you don’t need a partner to dance it, it could very well turn up on Joan’s menu this year. Opa! Ajde! Let’s dance!

We encourage your Texas-area dance group to become one of TIFD’s group affiliate members. A new group membership costs $50 per year, and renewals cost $15 per year. Here’s what your group gets from this membership:
• We will list your group by name on this site and in other TIFD publications.
• You can publicize your events in TIFD publications and can co-sponsor events with TIFD, subject to approval of the TIFD board.
• You can apply for grants supporting activities that promote folk dance and music and leadership in the field, as well as preserving the history of folk dance and music.
Any non-profit folk dance group or related folk arts group whose purposes are consistent with those of TIFD may apply to become a TIFD Group Affiliate. For your group to eligible, at least five of your members must be members of TIFD and your group must meet at least eight times a year.
