English Folk Dance and Song Society
The English Folk Dance and Song Society is the national folk arts development organisation for England. We champion the English traditional arts – music, song, dance, storytelling, customs and traditions – as part of the rich and diverse cultural landscape of the UK. We run Cecil Sharp House in London, at the heart of English folk since it opened in 1930.
