Camellia
International Folk Dance Festival is one of California's best
dance events, celebrating the world's great dance styles with
costumes and footwork to match the skills of some of the top
talents carrying on the unique traditions of music and song
through this public event. Held each year in March at Cal
State University Sacramento, this is a great event worth adding
to your must-see list. Celebrating not only ethnic diversity,
the festival invites the public to share in the concerts, dances
and meet the artists in a variety of workshops and shows.
Three days of dancing with
costumes, music and traditional dances representing many
countries around the globe. Live music from well known
musicians,
weekend clinics, training and classes culminates in a
spectacular dance pageant on Sunday. The Sacramento
International Folk Dance and Arts Council promotes international
folk dance through a variety of programs that include this
event. The Council is comprised of dance organizations and
sponsors Camellia International Dance Festival each March with a
weekend of dance classes, parties and a concert featuring dance
and musical groups. Promoting cultural diversity and enrichment
through the learning process encourages peace and mutual
understanding, plus spreading the joy of dance.
