Folk Dancing by the Fountain with Andy Taylor

Celebrating our 55th year of "Folk Dancing by the Fountain" in Copley Square, Boston!

Tuesday evenings, July 15 to August 26

When the weather gets too warm for our box fans, we dance outside! After a brief relocation, FAC's annual outdoor dance series is returning to Copley Square this season! Dancing will happen every Tuesday evening from 7-9pm.

We are thrilled to be back at the newly renovated Copley Square in Boston’s Back Bay - the first time since 2022!

About the Dances:

The Folk Arts Center is ecstatic to present, once again, this free, outdoor, multi-genre, participatory dance series! Begun in 1970 by Conny and Marianne Taylor, the weekly summer fun continues to delight Boston and area residents, visitors, and local and visiting folk dancers.

Each dance offers instruction by an experienced leader, music (both live and recorded), and a welcoming atmosphere. It is not necessary to have previous dance experience and a partner is not necessary.

Inclement Weather Cancellation:

Summer weather can be unpredictable. A decision will be made every Tuesday at 5:00pm as to whether to hold the dance that evening or not.
