East Bay Square Dance with live music by Round Top Stringband
Details
In March, caller Robin Fischer returns to call the East Bay Square Dance! It's time to rip and snort! No experience necessary; no partner necessary. Kids welcome. The caller teaches each dance right before we dance it.
Doors open: 7:30 pm
Beginner lesson: 7:45-8:00 pm (arrive early--blink and you'll miss it!)
Square dancing: 8:00-10:00 pm
This is a queer-friendly event. Role-switching is encouraged. The caller may use the terms "ladies" and "gents" to refer to dance roles; these terms are taken to refer to anyone dancing those roles.
Wear dance shoes if you have them! No stiletto heels allowed.
BYOB: You may bring beer and wine. No hard alcohol allowed. Bring your water bottles!
