What is a Frolic?
The Frolic is an all-ages dance party for dance lovers. A not-for-profit all-volunteer dance event in the Mid-Hudson Valley. Frolic dances are alcohol free, smoke free, and drug free which keeps the focus on dancing. People of all kinds attend, ranging from people who are serious about dance and want to expand their experience and learn from other dancers, to people who just want to get down in a fun, open atmosphere. No dance skills or partners are required! Just bring your dancing feet, socks or indoor-only soft-soled shoes*, and be prepared to boogie down.
Upcoming Events
We hold most Frolic dance events on the Fourth Saturday of the month, often at a difference space.

The cost is $15, but no one will be turned away due to lack of funds.
