Buy our CDs online
CancellationsAll of us in California should by now be aware that the Governor has declared an emergency “Shelter In Place” order, and has banned all nonessential gatherings of any number of people. As much as we might feel that dancing is essential to our health and well-being, we must cancel all in-person events until further notice. We’re all in this together! Let’s keep us all healthy! We look forward to resuming our dance and other activities as soon as possible. In the meantime, please join our many wonderful musicians and other performers as they stream online house concerts and other tastes of the culture we love so much. And please consider sharing the money you would have spent on dances to the stellar performers who no longer have those gigs. Donate as much as you can to help support our many musicians, callers, and sound techs, for many of whom this is their only or main source of income. Buy CDs directly from the band (instead of Amazon or streaming), support their Kickstarter program, buy a tunebook, book a remote lesson over Skype. https://www.cdss.org/community/covid19/send-love-to-freelancers Consider Donating to BACDS to help cover staff payments for events which have been canceled (a PayPal account is not required to donate via PayPal using your credit card).
