Started in 1982 by two women, this dance was originally a monthly event with no primary leader. After a year or so, the dance became a semi-monthly event featuring many well-known musicians. This dance has been located at the Palo Alto Masonic Temple for many years.
Bob Fraley and others serve as callers on a rotating basis, while the Nonesuch Country Dance Band (founded by Stan and Susan Kramer in 1985) serves as the house band. This is a novice-friendly dance, and aims towards an evening with a high ratio of dancing to teaching. A half-hour lesson is offered at the start of the evening.
