This is the Bay Area Country Dance Society schedule for the
week of Monday, April 28, 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 $5.
Please wear clean shoes with non-marking soles.
The Bay Area National Dance Week continues. BACDS has FREE introductory
dances:
* Wednesday, intro to contra in Berkeley (7:00-8:00 pm)
* Friday, intro to English Country Dance in Palo Alto (6:30 - 7:30 pm)
* Saturday, intro to contra in San Francisco (6:15 - 7:45 pm)
In each case, attending the entire free intro session brings free
admission to
the regular series dance that follows it. This is an excellent time to
get
your friends to check this stuff out.

Also, this week, BACDS-affiliated morris teams will dance the sun up on
