Welcome to PID in Our Fiftieth Year!
PID - Perth International Dance runs regular traditional dance classes around Perth and Albany, Western Australia.
We also present occasional workshops in schools and festivals, develop choreographies for schools, host touring dance teachers and sometimes present demonstration performances.
PID events are events of Perth International Folk Dance Group Inc.
Various editions of our newsletter Grapevine are now available to view on-line or to download.
Coming up soon is our major event to celebrate half-a-century of international folk dancing in Perth and Western Australia.
We have invited current and as many past dancers that we can contact, and we're hoping for a successful anniversary party at John Leckie Hall on 1st August 2026, starting at 6pm. Be there to help to make it a night to remember.
Eve taught on Saturdays for most of June with Peter taking the session on 20th. Eve revised Janiman Kavrakh (Syria), and taught Sapari (Israel), Cigina Krizaljka (Serbia), Alunelul de la Godenesti (Romania) and the delicate and haunting Isu Byala Nedo from Bulgaria with the 11/8 rhythm.
