Three Days of Contras, Squares, Swing, and Couple Dances

Come join us for a wild three-day weekend of American dance and music in the Sierra Mountains. A staff of outstanding callers and dance teachers will lead daytime workshops in dance traditions from all over the United States. We'll also have dance-band and callers' workshops and singing sessions. Evening dance parties will feature contras and squares and plenty of couple dancing, including swing and foxtrot and waltz. All this will be accompanied by an all-star musical staff.

The camp is a beautiful place 5,000 feet up in the Sierra Nevada mountains, near Kings Canyon National Park, 40 miles east of Fresno (about four hours drive from Los Angeles, 5 hours from San Francisco). The secluded camp offers swimming and boating on a private (clothing optional) lake, as well as tennis courts and hiking trails.

Fine, hearty meals will be served on the shaded deck just outside the main dance hall, with vegetarian meals available. Camp runs from Friday dinner through Monday lunch.
