This is the Bay Area Country Dance Society schedule for the
week of Monday, July 25, 2011.

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.

NOTES: Tom Roby visits from Connecticut to call the Wednesday English dance
with a stellar band lineup featuring the twin fiddles of Shira Kammen and
Michelle Levy with the keyboard stylings of Charlie Hancock.  Kalia Kliban
makes her Palo Alto English debut on Friday.

For contra and couple dancers: Frannie Marr from Los Angeles makes her second
visit to the Palo Alto contra, and this time, because it's Bill Ward's
birthday, we'll have a special couple-dance hour after the contra.  We expect
StringFire to burn up the floor with contra tunes, waltzes, swing, and who
knows what else.  Regular pricing for the contra dance; Bill is sponsoring the
couple dance, but if you're moved to donate to the band, it's most welcome.
Figure on staying out 'til midnight!
