Welcome to Redwood Raks!

Redwood Raks World Dance Studio is a vibrant space in Arcata's historic Old Creamery Building in the heart of the Creamery Arts District with classes taught by an amazing array of world dance artists, workshops, music and dance performances and marvelous special events for all ages. We hope to see you at a CLASS or EVENT soon!

We have space for your classes, rehearsals, meetings, workshops, parties and performances, we now have TWO spacious studios ready to go with mirrors, hardwood dance floors, and everything you need!

All of our teachers run their own, independent teaching programs, and many will accept our new REDWOOD RAKS CLASS CARD.
See who will accept it right here!

Yes, the schedule is a little light right now, but more will come this summer and LOTS more in the fall. Keep dancing!
