CLOSED FOR THE HOLIDAYS: Please note, the Tulip Time office will be closed from December 23 to January 1, so our staff can spend some much needed time with their families.

Community Dutch Dance Program

For community members who have always wanted to learn Dutch Dancing but never had the opportunity before, the Tulip Time Community Dutch Dance program is for you!

This is a great way to get involved in your community! Join the fun and celebrate your community’s heritage for a week each year in May. Come as a full group of twelve dancers, as a couple or an individual. We will help you join a group and be ready to dance.
 

Previous Dancers: This program is also recommended for previous dancers who have not danced for a number of years or for those who are switching positions. This is a great way to "brush up" on those 'windmills' and 'stars' as well as build endurance. It is a great exercise program and a lot of fun!
