Mission

Belfast Flying Shoes builds community and cultivates well-being through the joy of traditional music and dance for people of all backgrounds and identities in Midcoast Maine.

According to the Belfast Flying Shoes (BFS) bylaws, the purpose of our nonprofit public benefit corporation is to promote the presentation, preservation, perpetuation, participatory enjoyment, and continuing evolution of traditional folk dance and music.

BFS fulfills this mission and purpose by producing a variety of programs in our region, including workshops and dances, as well as participatory dance & music programs for older adults, and incarcerated men, and students & staff in preK-12 schools.
