This is the Bay Area Country Dance Society schedule for the
week of Monday, November 2, 2009.
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 prices:
Supporter: $15
Regular: $10 on Friday/Saturday/Sunday, $9 on weeknights
Member Discount: $2 from regular prices
Student/Low-income: $5
or pay what you can.
Please wear clean shoes with non-marking soles.

NOTE: Well-regarded out-of-town caller Diane Silver is calling the Berkeley
Wednesday contra dance. Don't miss this rare opportunity. The San Francisco
Scottish Fiddlers play the San Francisco contra on Saturday - this is an
overwhelming agglomeration of dozens of fiddlers and cellists, bringing an
unforgettable massed Celtic string sound to the contra dance.
