This is the Bay Area Country Dance Society schedule for the
week of Monday, August 18, 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. Please wear clean shoes with non-marking soles.
