East Bay Square Dance
Third Fridays every month (mostly)

Square dancing is for everyone!

Come on out for an Old-Time Square Dance in Berkeley.

We have live music at every dance.

All ages welcome. No special clothing required. Beginners welcome. The caller teaches all of the dances right before we dance them.

This is a queer-friendly event where you can dance any role you like.
