A Gay & Lesbian Square Dance Club Serving the Oakland / SF East Bay Area

About The Oaktown 8's

Who We Are

A group of Gay/Lesbian/Straight/Bi individuals who enjoy Square Dancing. This is the first Square Dance Club that many of our students have belonged to. Many of our Angels (Those who have danced before, and attend the classes to help the students learn) have danced with other bay area dance clubs but due to the uncertain nature of traffic in the bay area were looking for a venue they could get to with-out needing to cross the bay bridge or navigate the Caldecott Tunnel during rush hour. We offer classes at certain times of the year, but have just started an open house policy of inviting people interested in trying out Square Dancing to come to the class night the last Wednesday of the month to get a taste of Square Dancing. If interested please do contact us, just to be sure there have not been any last minute changes in time or location.

When We Meet

We currently have class or club nights on Wednesdays. Two or three dances are held annually, usually on Saturdays. Other activities are held as desired. These may include picnics, theater nights, pool parties, potlucks, movie nights, or ???.

Who is our Teacher/Caller

Our classes and club nights are called by Michael Levy, with the occasional guest teacher or caller.
