There are still a few places for primary schools to join next year’s primary schools ceilidh, organised by the Folk Association of South Hants (FASH) in association with FolkActive. The event is free for schools, all you have to do is arrange transport for the children. You will get a booklet with instructions for all the dances and a CD with the music played by members of Jigfoot, who will also be playing at the ceilidh. If you need help teaching the dances to the children, members of FASH will be happy to come and help out.

The ceilidh is on Wednesday 17th June 2015 at Jubilee Hall, Little Shore Lane, Bishops Waltham SO32 1ED. If your school would like to take part, please contact us soon.

FolkActive are profiled on a double page spread in the latest issue of the EFDSS magazine English Dance and Song. Really good to get support and recognition from the the national folk arts development organisation for England.

A couple of weeks ago we received the certificate of incorporation that makes us a Community Interest Company and we’re now officially open for business! Please do get in touch if you’d like any more information about our activities.

This week we started the process for becoming a Community Interest Company – FolkActive CIC here we come!

A CIC is a legal form for social enterprises, or businesses whose activities have a social benefit. CICs have their own regulator but in most other respects are a normal limited company.
