The English Folk Dance and Song Society (EFDSS, or pronounced 'EFF-diss'[3]) is an organisation that promotes English folk music and folk dance.[4][5] EFDSS was formed in 1932 when two organisations merged: the Folk-Song Society and the English Folk Dance Society.[6] The EFDSS, a member-based organisation, was incorporated[7] in 1935 and became a registered charity[8] in 1963.
