Huzzah! We’re launching a new dance series in Mill Valley. Join us on second Saturdays for English Country dance at the Almonte Clubhouse 105 Wisteria Way from 2pm-4:30pm with a beginners’ orientation at 1:45. Our first dance will be called by Kalia Kliban on Sat, January 11. Delightful music provided by Bill Jensen, Shira Kammen, & Jim Oakden. General Admission $15. No experience or partner necessary. Mask optional and fragrance free.

Thanks to popular demand — and the commitment of several dancers who have stepped up to manage the series — the San Rafael contra dance will continue. Shanna and Doug Moler are leading the management team, supported by Jacki Dunn and Kurt Ellison. Just for this coming month, the dance will be held on SUNDAY, September 14 from 4pm to 7pm. Green Gates (with Jon Berger) and Dane Wallinga calling. Please mark your calendars and vote with your feet to keep this dance strong. Bring a friend; those brand new to contra get in free. We’ll return to the usual second Saturdays in October.
