RSCDS Los Angeles

American and International Folk Dance and Music around Los Angeles

This is how I got started dancing. I'm listing only a few events I'm involved with. There are many sites on the web with comprehensive listings. Some are at the bottom of the page.


Harwood Lodge

My wife and I have had the good fortune to have been part of bringing about (hosting and/or overseeing) more than eighty dance weekends at the Sierra Club's Harwood Lodge, at Mt. Baldy, north of Claremont, CA. Here's a writeup of lodge's history by Mary Morales and an article I wrote for Folk Dance Scene around 1984.

Contra dancing at Harwood Lodge.

The Mount Baldy Ski-Dance was held on March 9-11, 2007. Jeff Spero and Kira Ott provided music and Barb Kirchner called the dances.

Here's a gallery of 26 photos.

Save the date for next year, Apr 11-13 2008.


Mendocino Folklore Camp

Dance, Music and where it's OK for adults to be silly. It's educational and fun and held one week in June at Mendocino Woodlands, a redwood grove about 5 miles E of Mendocino, CA.
Dance classes this year: Argentine Tango, French Canadian and Bulgarian.
Music classes in Balkan Singing and Doumbek.
