Photograph caption dated May 31, 1962 reads, "It's Friday night in North Hollywood. Exciting music comes from the gymnasium at Madison Junior High School. It draws you. Open the door. Folk dancing - circular, semicircular, some in pairs and alone. It's the weekly meeting of the Valley International Folk Dancers. Once you are inside, you want to stay and watch this 'specialized' form of folk dancing." Frances Godbey and Martin Kruysen join 7,500 persons who folk dance in California.; See images #00131880 through #00131882 for all photos in this series.
