FREE Intro Square Dance Party

FREE Intro Square Dance Party

Thu, Aug 20, 2:30 AM
From Oakland Area Square Dancing Meetup
4.8

Come join us for a free taste of Modern Square Dancing, on Jul 29 or Aug 19, before our new class starts on Aug 26. No experience required! There will be pizza (and other goodies)! *Lake Merritt Dance Center in Oakland* (Veterans Memorial Bldg)*.* Modern Square Dancing is a fun way to get some exercise and meet new friends. We learn the names of the basic movements and then do them on the fly to the instructions of a live caller. It's like an adult game of Simon Says with a team of 8 people all going in different directions, in time to a variety of music. You don't have to be a dancer; you just have to follow directions and walk in patterns. No experience required. No dance skill required. Come on your own or with a partner. Our friendly club members will help you through the whole process! Casual dress. Comfortable shoes with soles that aren't too grippy. No alcohol. No smoking. Hosted by Oakland's LGBTQ+ all-inclusive square dance club. More info at https://oaktown8s.org/intro.html

SAVE the TREES near a large Oakland air polluter

SAVE the TREES near a large Oakland air polluter

Sun, Aug 16, 5:30 PM
From Trees for Oakland
4.9

Nearly 90 new trees in the median need TLC. Park at 8000 Edgewater Drive median (off Hegenberger near Oakland Airport) parking lot. We have recently planted trees that need mulch, water and weed removal. These trees are currently alive, so now with this infusion of TLC, they will be safe until winter rains to resume growth. The temperature is likely cooler than most of Oakland as it is near the San Leandro Bay. You will need sun hat, water bottle and closed toe shoes. We will have gloves and water refill and a shade canopy.
