A message from AIFD's new president:
I see AIFD as a dynamic community exploring cultural diversity through dance and music.
Over the next year I see AIFD Board of Directors and members building on the energy generated from the 50th Anniversary by encouraging a fun, creative and inclusive social dance environment that will boost AIFD towards a vibrant future.
Let's go another 50 years!
Please join us!

Joc De Leagane
Mama cand m-o leganat,
Numai de dor mi-o cantat.
Mi-o cantat de dor si-o plans,
Dorul de mine s-o prins.
De cand port dor la inima,
Nu mai am nici o hodina,
Nici la pranz si nici la cina
Cate doruri rele-s grele,
Tate-s pa bratele mele.
Altul moare de batran,
Nu stii dorul de ce-I bun.
Dar eu stiu ca l-am purtat,
De cand mam mi-o cantat.
