Welcome to PID
Perth International Dance (PID) runs regular traditional dance classes around Perth and Albany, Western Australia.
We also present 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.
Thanks to everyone who made it a great party - over sixty people there. Big thanks to Jenny Currell for organising the playlists to complement live music from The Last FIve Coins. Thanks to those who called dances and to the many elves who helped with decorating the hall, organising the great spread of food and then 'undecorating' the hall and clearing up after the event.
Jenny Currell will be teaching on Saturdays in January 2026
Our apologies that the Saturday teaching on 13th, planned as a shared event between Eve, John and Jenny Currell, didn't happen due to a problem with hall availability.
On Saturday December 6th Jennifer went over Greek Chocek from Turkey, Jenny Shah retaught Hora pe Gheatsa (Rom) and Sipur Shel Ahava (Is) and Maria retaught Zorba (Gr).
In November Maria taught Valle Pogonishte (Albania), Courante Alsacienne (France), Kezes (Hungary), Lito (Greece) and Branle de la Fosse aux loups from France, and don't forget that a list of dances taught on Saturdays over recent years can be found in Saturday Teaching and in Teaching.
Our weekly International Dance classes, with Maria and Jennifer teaching, are continuing with a 10am start at Leslie Street Centre in Dudley Park, Mandurah. The hall is air-conditioned and has a sprung floor. Check out the Mandurah Flyer These are teaching-only sessions, designed for dancers new to international dance.
