This is the Bay Area Country Dance Society schedule for the
week of Monday, July 14, 2008
BACDS 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; Student, low-income admission $5.
$2 discount for BACDS members.
Please wear clean shoes with non-marking soles.
NOTE: This year marks the 25th anniversary of the incorporation of the
Bay Area Country Dance Society, and we're having a big party on Sunday,
July 20th, with contra, English, display dance, music and song. See
www.bacds.org/25years for details. At Nature Friends in the Oakland Hills.
