This is the Bay Area Country Dance Society schedule for the
week of Monday, June 9, 2008.
BACDS ( www.bacds.org ) sponsors English and American traditional dances in the
San Francisco Bay Area.
This is fun, relatively easy, community-oriented dancing with
live music. All dances are taught, no partner is necessary,
and first-timers are welcome unless otherwise noted.
Admission to Friday, Saturday & Sunday dances $10; all
others $9. Please wear clean shoes with non-marking soles.
