I lived in the Napa Valley for 23 years, and in that time, discovered wonderful places that I like to think of as "God's hidden treasures." Thru this Meetup Group, I would like to introduce you to some of those places.  Since I started this meetup I have relocated to Oakland.  I'm hoping that this Meetup group will provide opportunities for Black Professionals in the North and East Bay to mingle. Regardless of where you live, if you are interested in Stepping, Winetasting, Exploring, & Enjoying Time Socializing, (hence the name SWEETS), then this Meetup Group is for you.

Five years ago I was fortunate to have two of the Best Chicago Style Step Dance instructors in the Bay Area come to my home to teach my Relay For Life Team how to step. We got so involved in learning the dance and the culture, that we lost sight of our Relay fundraising goals! (lol) Since that time, I have had many people ask me when lessons will be available again in American Canyon. There are several dance instructors (male and female) in Northern California who are offering classes in Sacramento, Richmond, Oakland and Hayward.  I will do my best to post class schedules for your perusal.

For those who don't know about Chicago Style Steppin', (it is not line dancing!) It is a smooth and sophisticated partner dance somewhat like the salsa, only a lot slower. Chicago Style Stepin' is growing in California, and once you learn to do the dance, you can connect with steppers in major cities across the country like Chicago, LA, Atlanta, Texas and Las Vegas (to name a few).

This meet up will give you a chance to mix with Steppers from around the Bay Area, learn the dance, develop new moves, and have fun. We will also host trips to Wineries in Napa and Sonoma counties, including Everett Ridge Winery, an African American owned winery in Healdsburg, CA.

Welcome to SWEETS: The North Bay Black Professionals Meetup Group for folks who like to what? Step, Winetaste, Explore, and Enjoy Time Socializing!

Sweets and blessings,

Toni
