Redding International Folk Dancers: October 2018

Welcome to Redding International Folk Dancers

We are a recreational international folk dance group in Redding, California.

INTERNATIONAL FOLK DANCING on FRIDAYS:
We dance Fridays from 7:00 to 10:00 p.m. at the Redding Arts Project (formerly the Redding Ballet Academie), 1726 Market Street, across from the Cascade Theatre. Cost is $5.

All Fridays September through June (with occasional holiday cancellations)

Each evening is a combination of teaching, review, and open request dances. You'll hear a wide range of diverse music. Folk dance is great exercise and just plain fun. Our dances come from all around the world.

If you're interested in coming...Stop by, drop in for just a while or for the whole evening. We tend to start the evening with easier dances and work in intermediate to advanced dances as the night goes on.

Wear comfortable clothes and shoes. We recommend shoes that stay securely on your feet (no flip flops!) and with a smooth or light tread (so you can pivot or slide a bit). Bring water.

All dancers are welcome: beginners, experienced folk dancers, guests, visitors....anyone who enjoys dancing. No partner required.

Updates on the schedule and special events are listed below. Most recent announcements are at the top.

Fall 2018 Festivities!

Contra dancing this fall will be on Saturdays October 27 and November 17. The October contra dance will feature a Halloween theme, so costumes are invited (but not required, come as you are!). For October only, we'll be dancing to a variety of recorded contra dance music, and back to having our live band in November. (Contra dances are held at the IOOF hall in Palo Cedro, 7-10 p.m.)

Friday nights with international folk dancing continues each week. We'll also be celebrating Halloween, on Friday the 26th. Bring snacks to share, wear a dance-able costume, and come for a spooky good time! (International folk dance is held at the RAP Studio on Market Street in Redding, 7-10 p.m. each Friday).
