Folk dancing on the WWW

I started this before there were large WWW indices like Yahoo or search engines like Altavista -- back when there was nobody making a profit by offering such services. Now they do a much better job than I can. I leave this page as a testament to the way things were. As of the end of 1996 there will be no further updates to this list. The links can be expected to erode as sites move around.

This has long been the most-often hit page on the UCO/Lick server; I don't know who stuck it into Yahoo.

This collection is NOT copyrighted (whaddya think I'm running a business or something?). It is in the public domain.
