The Lavender Country and Folk Dancers (LCFD), started in 1988, sponsors, supports, and promotes a nation-wide network of gender-free community dances and dance camps. We are committed to providing safe spaces for the LGBTQ+ community and their allies through participatory community dance and gender-role free calling. While our dance focus is primarily Contra & English Country Dance, we introduce and incorporate many traditional dance styles at our twice-yearly signature dance camps.
Become a part of our community! Check out our History page to learn more about our humble beginnings, and the work we do today. Learn how you can contribute to the gender-free dance movement at our Resources page. Join us in celebrating our 30-year history and help shape our future by joining us at one of our upcoming events.
Code of Conduct: We are committed to ensuring our events are fun and inclusive for all. We value and expect consent and communication, community mindedness, and physical and emotional safety. Harassment of any kind will not be tolerated. If someone's behavior is offensive or harassing during the dance, we encourage you to speak with one of the organizers.
