Introduction to International Dance

Introduction to International Dance meets every Thursday 7:30 to 9:00 at the YLI Hall, 1400 27th Street at N Street, Sacramento CA.

This class is open to anyone even the more advanced dancers. It is a teaching class dedicated to the easy social ethnic dances, lots of improvisation, no complicated choreographies. Dance for the joy of dance.

The class has been extended through the last Thursday in June. Please come to this fun class and dance with us. The current dance list can be seen on the blog page.

Davis International Folkdancers

Davis International Folkdancers meets every Sunday evening from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m. at the Davis Art Center, located at 1919 F Street in Davis (at the corner of F Street and Covell Blvd.; the entrance to the parking lot is on Covell Blvd.) The first visit is free, then you can purchase a "dance card" from the Davis Art Center office, or at class. Cost is $25 for 5 sessions for DAC members, or $35 for five sessions for non-members. NOTE: We dance on a nice wooden floor, so no "outside" shoes are allowed - bring clean shoes reserved just for dancing! You do not need to attend consecutive weeks because your card doesn't expire, so you can come when convenient. For more information contact the Davis Art Center at 530-756-4100 or see their web site at: http://www.davisartcenter.org/

What is going on in Sacramento Folk Dance

The Sacramento International Folk Dance and Arts Council is still looking for an editor for Latest Steps, at this point we are willing to compress the size of Latest Steps to just include the Calendar, the council meeting minutes and the treasurer's report.

The next council meeting is scheduled for Saturday July 11, 2009. Please come if you would like to be part of the decision making on some of the big challenges facing our organization.
