Highlights of Dance Week Day 10: Sunday, May 1

7:30 pm – 11 pm
Barefoot Boogie
Barefoot Boogie is a conscious dance event — smoke-free, alcohol-free, scent-free — where we dance to all kinds of great music (world, funk, soul, positive hip-hop, house, tribal, electronica, blues and more) in a creative, connected community space. Relax during the beginning warm-up to slower music, and then follow the musical “waves” — dance, play, sweat, connect, expect the unexpected.
– 8th Street Studio, 2525 8th Street in Berkeley

5 pm – 6 pm
The Ballroom Dances Danced For You
What better way to get acquainted with ballroom dancing than enjoying a live demonstration. Come to appreciate the quality and artistry as our dancers present the waltz, foxtrot, cha cha, rumba, and other popular partner dances.
