Elsie J Oxenham's 'Abbey' books feature folk dancing, and include one largely set at an EFDSS summer school in the 1920s and another including a long section at an EFDSS Christmas school. Dancing is a constant feature throughout the series, and EJO was an active member of EFDSS and taught dancing. The books, written between about 1909 and 1950, were aimed at girls in their mid-teens. They are not school stories, though obviously school does feature in books for girls of that age, and the action of most books is largely outside of the school setting.
