This is the Bay Area Country Dance Society schedule for the
week of Monday, August 29, 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 at all our dances unless they're marked
"experienced".

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.
