We are a community international folk dance group in Arcata, California. All are welcome. We meet weekly for instruction and request dancing. Every month, we have a live music dance party.

Our Mission is to educate the general public in folk dancing and other folk art forms.

We meet Sundays from 4-6 p.m. at the Redwood Raks World Dance Studio, 824 L Street in Arcata.

Our next live music party is Friday, June 6, 2025 from 8 to 10:30 p.m. at the Redwood Raks World Dance Studio, 824 L Street in Arcata.

There will also be our annual Balkan Camp Sendoff Party, June 27 at Synapsis in Eureka.

See our Schedule for more.

The Humboldt Folk Dancers recognize that we are on unceded ancestral lands of the Wiyot people, and that the land is known as Goudi’ni in the Wiyot language. We also acknowledges the Wiyot community, past and present elders, and future generations.
