Thirty-five years after its first camp at the Mendocino Woodlands in 1981, BACDS American Dance & Music Camp continues the long tradition at our San Francisco coastal location.

Join us for the BACDS American Dance and Music Week, Sunday-Friday, June 26–July 1, 2016 at the Jones Gulch Camp in the coastal redwoods of Northern California, near San Francisco. Come early and stay late for extra dance events before and after camp!
