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: 

Tuesday night is our Woodshed dance in Atherton.  Callers try out  new material
or new ways of teaching; dancers voice their opinions.  Musicians try things
out too.  If that sounds like fun, you're welcome!  If you plan to  come it's a
good idea (but not mandatory) to let Alan Winston know - AWinstonDance@gmail.com

This weekend is the Spring Fever dance weekend at Monte Toyon, with three
programming tracks: contra, English, music, and more!  Featuring the
Syncopaths, Goldcrest, Sue Rosen, Susan Kevra, Gary Roodman.  Preregister at
bacds.org/springfever

If you can't go to Spring Fever, there's a fine dance in San Francisco with 
Frannie Marr from Los Angeles calling in front of local old-timey favorites 
Uncle Dave (Kathrine Gardner, David Brown, Dave Courchaine).
