Changes

Of the Folk's approximate ten monthly dances, two are usually professional bands and callers and the remaining are played by Rude Cider and called by students. Two dances, one near Halloween and one near Valentine's, are themed dances with traditions. The Folk also coordinate trips to dances occuring in the area, most commonly in [[Greenfield]] with [http://www.wildasparagus.com Wild Asparagus] and other bands, [[North Adams]] with the [http://mysite.verizon.net/daleott/garbanzos/ Flying Garbanzos], or regional dance festivals like the [http://www.danceflurry.org Dance Flurry] and [http://www.neffa.org/ New England Folk Festival].

==History in people==

Very close to the Valentine's Day dance, sometimes even the morning after, the Folk travel together to big folk dance festival in Saratoga Springs, the [http://www.danceflurry.org Dance Flurry]. About a dozen Folk attend, and the club provides trasportation through college vans and private cars. Many years, the club has been able to stay the night(s) with friends at Skidmore, once in exchange for holding a (rather poorly attended) dance for their dance club.
