Corvallis International Folkdancing
Our annual FOLKDANCE PARTY was on Saturday, April 26, 2025.
This year we had an enthusiastic crowd with folks from Salem, Portland, Eugene, and Seattle. Our dance list consisted of dances and music that was popular in the 1970’s and 80’s, when we first started the Hoolyeh Folk Dance Festival. Good memories, familiar music and old friends! Photos from party.
Our party next year, 2026, will be on Saturday, April 25, 2026. It will be held at the Mary’s River Grange Hall in Philomath, same place it has been for the last several years. We hope to see folk dancers from around the state and from out of state, come to spend a fun evening, dancing and visiting with old and new friends.

Contact Dana Poling or Anne White to get on the in-person email list or for more info.
The Unitarian Fellowship has some new requirements:
The doors are locked at all times for safety and security reasons. We will have someone stationed at the door from 6:45-7:15 to open it for dancers. After that time, you can walk around to the sliding door on the east side of our room and enter there.
The Unitarian encourages masking, however it is a personal choice. If you have any illness symptoms, please stay home. We have all gone through years of health concerns, and we feel hopeful that we can get back to some normalcy with our dancing.
We will start dancing with a program of warm-up and intermediate dances, followed by request dancing. Each week we will incorporate the request dances that might have been missed the prior dance.
ZOOM Dancing – Weekly
Hoolyeh Folkdancers are currently dancing via Zoom every Tuesday evening, 5:45 – 7:00 PM Pacific. For more information, email zoomhoolyeh@gmail.com
