Regardless of focus--international or American--the BYU Folk Dance Ensemble is acclaimed by thousands for their skillful dancing and energy.

"The performance 'blew our socks off'-nearly two hours of solid, continuous entertainment from a group of 36 performers who are a credit to not only themselves but to BYU. I sat next to a prominent Aboriginal indigenous leader in one of the matinees. He slapped his thighs , yahoo'd, said 'awesome' about 20 times and brought his entire family to the following evening performance. He then. . . presented the group with aboriginal-made gifts-the same spirit affected everyone who attended."
