North Bay Country Dance Society

The North Bay Country Dance Society (NBCDS) teaches and promotes traditional American dance such as New England contra dance, New England and Southern square dance, English country dance, and ritual dance in the San Francisco North Bay Area.

Contra dancing and English Country Dancing are easy, fun, friendly and inclusive. All dances are taught and prompted, with live musicians. No experience is necessary — anyone who can walk, can dance! Come alone or bring a friend: No partner is required, no costumes, no classes; just wear comfortable clothes and low, smooth-soled, comfortable shoes. First-timers are encouraged to come early for an orientation, and for simpler dances early in the evening.

Parents Please Note: All Non-Dancing Children Must Be Supervised.

The calendar includes Sonoma, Marin and Mendocino county dances in Santa Rosa, Sonoma, San Rafael, Sebastopol, Calistoga, Ukiah, and Caspar, and a Morris team practicing in Sebastopol.

Announcements:
 •   The Mad Robin Ball will be on June 5, with Phillipe Callens calling.
 •   The new membership form is now available online.
 •   There's a 12-hour contra in Grass Valley on June 19, featuring Nightingale and Rick Mohr.
