Party Dances
Around here, these Saturday-night dances are generally called "hoedowns", but when I first learned to square dance in northeastern California they were always called "party dances." Whatever you call them, they're a lot of fun, and just about everyone looks forward to them. If you'd like me to call one for your club, email me.
(I'm also maintaining a list of party dances I know of that are put on by clubs in Northern California but outside of the SF Bay and Sacramento metropolitan areas, here.)

Note: If it says "tentative," then I've verbally agreed to the date and consider myself bound, but don't yet have a contract in hand. If it says "Gone to..." then it's not an event that I'm calling -- I've just blocked out the time to attend the event. In that case, if you're very convincing, I could be talked into changing my plans... :-)
Callers' Association Events
In addition to CALLERLAB, I belong to my local callers' association: the Square Dance Callers' Association of Northern California (SDCANC). Since I try to participate in as many of their scheduled events as I am able, I'll list those here as well.
(Note: Open dances sponsored by the Association are highlighted with a purple background.)
