Folk Arts Center of New England
About
The Folk Arts Center of New England is a nonprofit educational organization in Stoneham that promotes traditional dance, music and related folk arts from many cultures. It sponsors weekly and monthly community folk dances, workshops and special events, all open to newcomers. The center describes its dance and music circles as circles of inclusion, welcoming people of all ages and backgrounds, whether singles, couples or families.

FAC dance leaders and musicians bring cultural programs into schools and community settings, and the organization acts as a resource and referral service for traditional dance and music communities across New England and beyond.
