Square Dance Clubs in Northern California
(and some round dance clubs, too :)
As I worked on my "Dances North of the Bay" page, it occurred to me that there should also be a listing of all the clubs in Northern California that I have contact with. This information is compiled from a number of sources, but primarily from personal contacts and from the North State Dancers' Association's publication, The Shascader.
Note that I'm not being all-inclusive in this listing. Specifically, I'm not attempting to list the clubs which exist in larger population centers such as the Bay Area and Sacramento. For information on the clubs in those areas, NCSDA (Northern California Square Dancers' Association), SCVSDA (Santa Clara Valley Square Dancers' Association) and ASDSC (Associated Square Dancers of Superior California) maintain lists of their member clubs on their web sites. NSDA (North State Dancers' Association) recently opened a web site as well, but I will continue to list their clubs here, as I have a number of NCSDA clubs which are located outside the Bay Area proper.
If I've missed any clubs in Northern California outside of the Bay Area and Sacramento, please drop me an email and let me know, so I can add them!
Mark Brautigam in the South Bay area is also keeping a list of clubs in California and Nevada, here.
