SUNDANCE SALOON BLOG

Sundance Saloon brought some liveliness to the Jane Warner Plaza at Castro & Market in San Francisco. After being rained out the previous two Saturdays, we finally had some nice weather with partly cloudy skies and none of the wet stuff.

We had another very fun and festive Holiday Ball on December 13 at Sundance Saloon in San Francisco, featuring the many traditions that have come to define this event. This year we were able to capture the indoor snowfall during the Barn Dance on video (see above)! The flurries start at around 1:45.

In addition we collected dozens of toys for Mama’s Toy Drive, ultimately destined for Sunburst Projects, the SFPD, and other locations. Santa made his customary appearance. Everyone got lei’d while dancing to Mele Kalimaka. The dancing cowboy Santa toy wiggled his hips all night long. And we presented the checks to the beneficiaries of the Sundance Stompede which raised $21,892 this year.

… and here’s a nice Facebook post from earlier in the month:

Sundance Saloon spent an amazing day on a glorious weekend at the San Francisco Pride Festival in the Civic Center on June 28, 2015. Coming on the heels of the historic Supreme Court ruling in favor of same-sex marriage, the City was ablaze in celebration all weekend long. We two-stepped and line-danced our way through the weekend, with dance events Saturday night at the Whitcomb Hotel, Sunday all day at the Civic Center, and then Sunday night again back at the Whitcomb.

Sundance Saloon returned to Jane Warner Plaza in the heart of the Castro district of San Francisco for some more two-steppin’ and line dancin’ fun. There’s something really special about dancing under a beautiful blue sky, especially when your audience includes tourists coming in on the vintage MUNI streetcars who may never have seen same-sex dancing. There could not be better ambassadors for the LGBT community.
