Free Admission Night Thursday, February 19
Sundance Saloon
We’ll have free admission on Thursday, February 19, thanks to someone celebrating a birthday who has pre-paid for everyone on that night. We may or may not reveal the name of our benefactor. You'll have to come to Sundance Saloon to find out, or not!
Intermediate West Coast Swing with Sheila Schlicht
Sunday, February 22: 5:15–6:15 pm
Sundance Saloon: Loft
Sundance Saloon offers a one-hour workshop for intermediate west coast swing on the last Sunday of the month. In February our instructor will be Sheila Schlicht. Attendees should be *completely* comfortable with basic WCS patterns (e.g. side pass, underarm turn, tuck, basic whips).
Unlike most of our lessons in the loft, this class is drop-in, with no advance registration and no additional fee beyond the regular Sundance Saloon admission fee.
March Birthday Dance Sunday, March 1
Sundance Saloon
On the first Sunday of each month, we celebrate the birthdays of everyone who has a birthday during that month. One dance is designated when we invite the birthday folks to the dance floor, and everyone gets a chance to take turns dancing with them. We also provide the cake!
If your birthday is in March, we'll see you on Sunday, March 1!
Beginning-Plus West Coast Swing with Sheila Schlicht
Sundays, March 8, 15, & 22 • 5:15-6:15 pm
Sundance Saloon: Loft
We present a 3-week series in instruction in west coast swing at the "beginner-plus" level with instructor Sheila Schlicht. You should already be familiar with West Coast Swing basics (e.g. push break, side pass, underarm turns). The class will run from 5:15 to 6:15 pm, with each week building on material from the previous week.
Advance registration is required. The class is limited to 8 leaders and 8 followers. The cost for the entire 3-week series is $20 payable in advance. Note that this is in addition to the regular admission charge each week at Sundance Saloon.
Oscar Night Sunday, March 15 • Special early opening at 4:00 pm
Bonus Line Dance Marathon 4:00–5:30 pm
Sundance Saloon
Don't want to have to choose between the Academy Awards and dancing? You don't have to! Sundance Saloon will open early at 4:00 pm on Sunday, March 15 to present the Academy Awards on the big screen in the Back Room turned into a gorgeous viewing lounge. Popcorn included!
We'll take advantage of our extended hours to have a bonus line dance marathon in the main ballroom from 4:00 to 5:30 pm. Then we'll have lessons as usual in the Main Room from 5:30 to 7:15 pm, followed by open dancing. Regular Sunday admission $7.
The Barbary Coast Cloggers are bringing their clogging classes to Sundance Saloon every Thursday. Lessons in clogging , a form of percussive line dance, take place upstairs in the loft, while our regular programming of two-step and line dance lessons continues on the ground level.
The schedule is:
6:30-7:30 - Percussive Line Dance - any level
7:30-8:30 - Experienced Level
The experienced level is for those with knowledge of tap, clogging, or Irish dance. The classes are drop-in and there is no additional fee beyond the regular Sundance Saloon admission.
Line Dance Pro Sundays (except 1st Sun of month) • 5:00–6:30 pm
Sundance Saloon • Back Room
Can't get enough line dancing? Line Dance Pro is an opportunity to increase your line dance abilities and challenge yourself with new line dances not included in our regular Sundance Saloon repertoire.
Our Line Dance Pro sessions run every Sunday in the Back Room of Sundance Saloon (except the first Sunday of the month)! Includes lessons starting at 5:15 pm, except the last Sunday of the month which features a line dance marathon. Check the Sundance Saloon instruction calendar for the schedule. [No line dance pro on Mar. 15 due to the Academy Awards viewing in the back room.]
Volunteer Opportunities
Please help us! Sundance Saloon is a community effort, dependent on lots of people chipping in a little bit. We are always looking for more help. If you have not volunteered in the past, this is a great time to think about stepping in. You can become an integral part of what makes Sundance so special. Our needs at Sundance Saloon include set-up, front door, and coat-check. Shifts are generally one hour. No experience necessary.
Supporting Sundance
As an all-volunteer, member- and community-supported organization, the Sundance Association depends on your support to keep thriving. The pandemic put an extra burden on our finances, and our needs are never-ending. There are many ways to help us, and not all of them involve monetary contributions:
Become a member of the Sundance Association by pledging an annual tax-deductible donation.
Come on down! Support us just by showing up.

Use our coat-check on Sundays.
Put a dollar or two in one of our tip jars.
