The Friendly FolkDancers
Dancing the World Together
Last Updated 5/23/2007
The Friendly FolkDancers is a group of folk-dancing Quakers who minister through dance. During a typical year, the Friendly FolkDancers organize one or two major tours (about 10 days long) and one or two mini-tours (usually three-day weekends). They have toured all over the U.S. and in several foreign countries.
This is a unique form of ministry that
is hard to explain in words.
Waltz with me God Or maybe let's cha-cha So many dance lonesome I'm so happy I've gotcha to whirl me and twirl me Or maybe just stroll When I yield to your leading My life becomes whole Swing with me God You could toss in a shottish I can dance alone fine But with you I'm part God-ish A-dipping and weaving In free flowing time My just- fine dance talents Become motion sublime ©2005 Mark Judkins Helpsmeet
