Pasadena Folk Dance Co-op Welcomes You
UPDATE JANUARY 25 2025
We are having Friday Night Dancing at a temporary location in El Monte. The search for a permanent venue continues but until then we invite you to join us at:
1st Christian Church in El Monte
11025 Lambert Ave, El Monte, CA 91731
Every Friday evening from 7:30 till 9:30 PM
until further notice
Thanks go to Ann Armstrong for securing the facility at her church, to 1st Christian Church for letting us use the space, to Marshall Cates for rebuilding a music system for us, and to Ellen and Ted Stern for donating an awesome pair of speakers.
Beginners’ hour is not resuming yet, but we hope that will happen shortly after we find a permanent venue. Beginners, you’re still welcome to come–people will help you along.
IMPORTANT UPDATE January 9, 2025:
Our dance venue, Altadena Community Church, was destroyed in the Eaton fire. Our heart-felt condolences and well wishes go to the members and staff of the church.
We expect to be back with a new venue in a few weeks, but for now we’re dark and all our events are cancelled. Check back for updates, or if you’d like to get direct email updates, you can sign up for our email list on the Contact page. Also see the News and Messages page for more details.

We are an established folk dance group and we invite you to come and dance with us any Friday evening from 7:30 till 9:30. We do a variety of different ethnic dances from countries around the world, some quite simple and some more challenging. There’s a teaching session early in the evening and the rest of the time devoted to programmed dances from our repertoire, plus requests, and of course socializing on the sidelines.

6:30 till 7:30 PM
