This is the Bay Area Country Dance Society schedule for the
week of Monday, April 21, 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, $2 discount for BACDS members. Student/low-income admission $5.
Please wear clean shoes with non-marking soles.
SPECIAL NOTE: BACDS is happy to participate again in the Bay Area National
Dance Week event, offering a number of free introductory dances. This is
a
great op****tunity to try out our activities for free, or if you're a
regular,
to bring your friends. This Saturday we'll have special English in
Berkeley
and contra in Palo Alto. See http://www.bacds.org/ndw
for more
information.
