What's
happening at Mandala.
The Mandala Folk Dance Center has, since 1971, been a favorite place in San Francisco for International Folk Dancers to meet and enjoy an evening of dancing and good company. The first and last Thursdays of the month are party nights featuring all request dancing and no formal instruction. The other Thursdays feature dance instruction by Edith Bourbin as well as request dancing. Edith will teach dances from Stockton and other folk dance camps and workshops. A number of times a year, a local band will provide live music for dancing and special workshops by other teachers are provided. In the Fall, Mandala has a folk dance picnic in Golden Gate Park. For more information about the Senior class on Sundays, see below. Check this site for listings of special events and workshops.
