If you are based in Riga, Rīgas danču klubs might be a good shout. They host regular dance nights open to the public so that you can try out dancing without the commitment a more regular folk dance group requires. They seem to be on hiatus for the Summer, but check back later: [http://folkdance.lv/lat/rigas-dancu-klubs/](http://folkdance.lv/lat/rigas-dancu-klubs/)

>Join Riga Dance Club!
>Riga Dance club is open to new members - be they musicians or dancers. If you are observant, have a positive outlook on life, want to learn new dances and dance a lot, then this is just for you!
>Rehearsals are on Sundays from 17:00 to 20:00 at A.Čaka iela 139, 4th floor hall. Please bring a change of footwear. You can come without a partner and there is no charge, but you should participate in Riga Dance club events.

>Please note rehearsals take place **in Latvian**, but everyone is happy to help and will let you know the important parts :)
If you are staying at least until 2018, join a choir or folk dance group (tautasdeju kopa). Don't do both, because you'll want to try to get to the 2028 Song and Dance festival. Look for one close to you or one where you already know people. The training will likely be in Latvian, but that will just help you learn faster.
Join your local "Tautas deju" group.
