Here is the blurb fromhttp://nlfolk.com/folknight.php#:

The NL Step Dance Project is proud to present Folk Night at the Ship, Wednesday, April 27th, a public session of step dance and music!

Who in your family pulls out the freestyle solo moves at kitchen parties, weddings, or community concerts? At the trad session on a Sunday afternoon? When the toe tapping music starts up, who’s light on their feet and stays close to the floor? Join us at The Ship Pub at 9PM for a traditional session with a twist, featuring Newfoundland music and lively step dance for only $5
at the door. With tunes from Allan Ricketts and other local musicians, this
is an evening not to be missed! We'll also be featuring a brief step dance lesson, for those who want to get a little closer to the floor themselves.

In partnership with the Intangible Cultural Heritage Office, DanceNL, and the NL Folk Arts Society, the NL Step Dance Project is seeking to both highlight and come to a better understanding of this vital and less-practiced
tradition.
