The website was originally set up by the Sacramento International Folk Dance and Arts Council. The Council's mission was to provide a source of pleasure, physical and mental health, friendship, and the appreciation of other cultures through international folk dance and music. The organization was dissolved in April of 2023.

If you are interested in seeing the old site which includes pages on past events and featured dancers, an ARCHIVE of the SIFDAC site was made on the Wayback Machine on October 22, 2022. Periodic archives dating from 2010 are available here.
