This is the Bay Area Country Dance Society schedule for the
week of Monday, April 29, 2013.

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.

NOTE:  

Wednesday is May 1.  Various BACDS and non-BACDS morris dance teams will be
dancing the sun up around the Bay Area, at the Santa Cruz Lighthouse, 
Palo Alto Baylands, Twin Peaks in San Francisco, Inspiration Point in Berkeley,
and The Community Center Youth Annex in  Sebastopol.  Check out
www.bacds.org/mayday  for more information.

Wednesday also brings us a rare visit from North Carolina's Fred Park to call
the Berkeley Contra.  His dry wit and extensive traditional repertoire make him
stand out among callers.  And it's an open band night, too!
