Contra + Waltz with band KGB with Richard Powers at Friday Night Waltz Sat Jan 10

scott — Wed, 07 Jan 2009 02:18:27 GMT

Back again! We are having another wonderful evening of great music and dancing at the "Contra+Waltz", this time with a wonderful band from Seattle, KGB.

Our "Contra+Waltz" is an evening filled with many fun wonderful dances- half the dances are contras and line dances, and the rest are waltzes, polkas, one steps. Our special band for the night, KGB from Seattle, composed the music for one of Friday Night Waltz standard dances, our cross step waltz mixer, "A Clocked Stopped". We can't wait to dance to it with live music!

We are planning on having about 10 waltzes, a few of polkas, some latin and tango- all played by KGB. A great band. not to be missed! Listen to their music here.

Our last Contra+Waltz had over 230 dancers-one of the largest contra dances in California over the last few years. People were eager for another dance- here we are with a delightful band that has played superb dance music for nearly two decades. They get to the bay area every five years or so.
This is a must-go dance!

We are delighted to present KGB, a favorite contra band with a loyal and long time following. They will play about half contras and line dances and about half social couple dances with 10 waltzes, several Polkas,and other dances like a tango, Hambo, and Schottische. Not to be missed! KGB has not been in the Bay area for a really long time. KGB is the Seattle-based trio of Julie King, Claude Ginsburg and Dave Bartley, whose surname initials provide the group's name (KGB). They've been playing contradance music since 1993.

Richard Powers will be calling the contras. He started out calling contra many years ago in Cincinatti and is now returning to his roots. Richard will also be teaching two hours of social dances from 7 pm to 9 pm.

7pm class: pivoting schottische

8pm class: Cross step waltz with an introduction to cross step waltz mixer, which will be played live with KGB, who wrote the original music.

Tom Hill teaches his excellent Introductory waltz class from 7 to 9pm.

$20 for the evening. $10 for students with id. No partner necessary. All Ages. Casual comfortable attire. Sorry due to live band, no discount for dance only. Under 18 must be accompanied by parent or guardian.

We will have our traditional celebratory selection of cherry pies, double chocolate devine mousse, raspberry cheesecakes, lemon merengue pies, and a zingy selection of ice creams.

Oakland Veterans Hall 200 Grand Avenue Oakland CA X Harrison.
A beautiful dance hall, with 3,500 square foot hardwood floor, extra room for socializing and meeting new people, easy access, great parking.

What sites do you love for sex-positive content? (for the ladies, but feel free to chime in, guys!)

dixiedlt — Mon, 21 Apr 2008 20:18:46 GMT

We have this thing called the interweb, and have access to all manner of information..including our favorite topic, SEX. But I find that there are very few good sites out there to glean information about the world of sex and kink.
I've asked friends. I've done searches. So now I'm coming to you to ask: what sites do you like? Where do you read / view / research all things sexy on the web?

Any and all advice is appreciated, but I'm looking for suggestions from women in particular. What turns you on? What sites draw you back for more? Do you learn from them, or just get amped up and ready for more?

THANKS, oh Great Oz...
Dixie

Back out there again!

wichi_woman — Tue, 19 Jun 2007 23:26:18 GMT

Hello Bay Area Singles;

I am back out there actually looking for a man, instead of just watching the crazyness that is dating. Just thought I would drop a line here and see what folks had to say about where to meet fun singles (besides Burning Man!) and what fun stuff is there to do in San Jose as a single person. I know I was going to Sky High for a bit and that was a lot of fun but not too many single folks there, unfortunately!
