Workshops and other Special Events
JIF generally sponsors at least two weekend workshops each year, one in the winter or spring and the other in the fall, featuring guest teachers from around the country and around the world.
The most prominent of these workshops is Juneau DanceFest! held over Labor Day weekend. Concurrent workshops are conducted on a full range of dance genres, with dances to live music each night. Details can be found at www.juneaudancefest.org.
We also try to have one workshop emphasizing line or circle dancing and one emphasizing couple dancing. Other special workshops may be held as opportunities arise. Some workshops include singing or instrumental techniques as well as dancing.
View upcoming workshops on our Special Events page.
