The Friends of Greenfield Dance objectives are threefold: to promote and support the development of cultural programs of music and dance; to facilitate cooperation among musicians and dance community members; and to maximize participation in dance events.
We work in collaboration with eight dance organizers who organize the dances at the Guiding Star Grange each month. Our work supports a vibrant culture of dancers, musicians and callers who travel from near and far to join our dances.

Originally known as the Friends of the Guiding Star Grange, fondly nicknamed “The Friends,” the organization was founded in 1995.
In 2013, under recommendations from our Board of Directors, members of the Friends ratified significant changes to our by-laws, including a name change, which now provide greater clarity and a higher level of transparency as well as making us compliant with federal guidelines. The organization was incorporated as the Friends of Greenfield Dance on March 28, 2013.
