We are proud of our success so far in this regard – that so many of you value and feel like a part of the dance – and strive in every way to keep it going. We have a simple saying that sums up our philosophy: "Everyone dances with everyone."

Think you are not good enough to dance?  Think again.  Think you had to start dancing when you were 5 years old to have any fun and be any good at it?  Again, not true.  No rhythm?  That can be learned, really. :) We are a friendly, low stress group of dancers that want YOU to come have fun with us.   There will be line dances and couples dances taught and it will be easier mixed with harder lessons. You may be intimidated at first and feel challenged, but the good thing is, there are a lot of r …

It is a social form of folk dancing that is very beginner friendly, but is also engaging enough to appeal to experienced dancers. So whether you are an experienced dancer looking to try something new, or an absolute beginner who wants to give dancing a try, this group may be for you. The dances are taught by well-known instructor Michael Murphy, whose teaching is welcoming, inclusiv …

I have been wanting to get back into dancing regularly, so I'm hoping to start a group of experienced dancers who could rent a studio space and take turns leading a modern technique class. The benefits would be a cheap class, a low-stress chance to practice teaching, and a community of people who would provide some accountability for getting to class! If you are not (yet) comfortable leading a class, feel free to join because it won't hurt to have some extra bodies helping with rent and dancing …

Amid the epoch of “Black Swan" at the movies, and with the Giants having won the World Series (yes, whipping through 32 fouetté turns is almost as hard as hitting a Lincecum fastball), and now the first book ever published about the entire history of ballet (“Apollo’s Angels,” by Jennifer Homans), and, ta-dah, most important of all, with the world-class San Francisco Ballet …
