SUNDANCE NEWS
Sundance Saloon Closed Thru August
Sundance Saloon will be closed at least through the end of August. Please check back here for updates. Sign up for our electronic newsletter here if you're not on our e-mail list already.
In the meantime, we're offering live-streaming line dance lessons and a mini-marathon on Sunday evenings. Check out the details here.
Most importantly, stay informed, healthy, and safe! The San Francisco Public Health website is a good source of information. There's a lot of misinformation being circulated. Trust only primary sources!
We hope to be dancing again at Sundance Saloon soon.
Sundance In The Park Thursday, August 6 • 6:15 – 8:00 pm
Advance reservations required
Sundance Saloon presents line dancing in Golden Gate Park. San Francisco now allows limited outdoor group exercise! We have created an ultra-safe environment. There are strict rules that everyone must understand and embrace.
Space is limited, and advance registration is required. We ask that you sign up whether you intend to dance or not. We will announce the online registration link during our Sunday night live-stream, and then post it here by noon on Monday.
Sundance Saloon Online Live Sunday, August 9• 6:00 - 9:00 pm PDT More info and tune in here
Sundance Saloon presents Sunday night live-streaming lessons during the COVID-19 shutdown! The 6:00 beginning lesson is aimed at line dance novices. Our guest instructor for the 7:00 intermediate dance is Michael Metzger!
We're gonna do this! We've started planning our two-day all-day live-streaming dance workshops with instructors from around the country. In addition to line dance workshops, we'll include partner dance and West Coast Swing workshops that are suitable for learning without a partner. Other ideas include a huge Zoom social, and maybe even a dance-at-home event.
Our confirmed roster of instructors has changed and continues to evolve:
Partner Dancing: Ron Jenkins • Ari Levitt, MD (tentative)
West Coast Swing: Phoenix Grey • Michelle Kinkaid • John Lindo • Yenni Setiawan
Line Dancing: Rick Dominguez • Michael Metzger • Scott Schrank
So be sure to mark your calendars now! We hope to have more details for you soon.
Shelter-In-Place Line Dance Videos
Sundance Saloon has produced a series of Shelter-In-Place line dance videos, so we can stay at home and still dance as a community! Our latest creation, Mucara Walk, features submissions gathered from across North America as we asked past Stompede registrants to participate!
Get your very own Sundance Saloon face mask, and help reduce the spread of the coronavirus! There are five different designs to choose from. These are $15 each, or get all five for $60 (plus shipping, or free curbside pick-up)! These are comfortable cloth masks with adjustable elastic ear loops and contoured nasal bridge; machine-washable (gentle cycle). All proceeds benefit the Sundance Association.
Important: These are not medical grade masks. However, these will help to reduce the transmission of viruses from those who are infected.
Sundance Stompede POSTPONED to May 27-30, 2021
The Sundance Stompede originally planned for Labor Day weekend, 2020, has been postponed to Memorial Day weekend, 2021. The safety and comfort of our attendees takes precedence over everything else.
The Sundance Stompede is our magical four-day country-western dance weekend, featuring four nights of amazing dance parties and three days of equally amazing dance workshops, plus many social events, and more. In 2021 we will still welcome the annual convention of the International Association of Gay/Lesbian Country-Western Dance Clubs to the Stompede! We hope to see you next year.
Are you missing Sundance Saloon during the break? We hope we can put at least a little joy back in your life with our SUNDANCE SALOON PLAYLISTS on Spotify! You'll need a (free) Spotify account for basic listening privileges.
Sundance Saloon Line Dances. Not all music is available on Spotify, and sometimes we had to resort to different versions, but most of it is here! Here is the key (pdf file) matching line dances with the song titles and artists.
Supporting Sundance
Like most nonprofits, we expect the COVID-19 pandemic to affect our finances negatively and significantly. The major ways to support the Sundance Association at this time are:
Donate to our COVID-19 recovery fund, created specifically to help counter our losses from the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Sundance Saloon Online Live. If you tune in, "pay" an optional admission fee by donating $7.
Become a member of the Sundance Association by pledging an annual tax-deductible donation.
