Here’s that Callers’ Census funded by EFDSS, which closes on Mon 20th July. It is looking at how callers do the job, the kind of repertoire that’s being called (and therefore danced). Wherever you call: the odd party with friends, dance clubs, weddings, festivals, something else entirely, this piece of work collects the data to understand what’s actually happening these days.

Thank you for taking part in the 2026 Social Folk Dance Caller Census. This is the first stage of a research project to find out more about the people who call for social folk dances, the events they call for and the dances they call. You can find out more about the project here
