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 Folk Dancing!
Starting Friday, September 7 we'll be dancing 7:00-9:45 p.m. on Friday evenings at the Redding Ballet Academie. Hope to see you there--both new and returning dancers!
We're getting excited to resume regular Friday night dancing after a long two month summer break!
As we dance into fall, we'll be learning a few new dances but plan on allowing lots of time to review previously taught dances--old and not so old--as well as plenty of request dancing.
