June Birthday Dance

Sundance at Union Square

Sundance Saloon returns for an wonderful evening of free lessons and open dancing in Union Square in downtown San Francisco.

Sundance Prom & Reunion Night
Sunday, June 14
Sundance Saloon

Sundance Saloon is having its first ever Prom Night - when everyone is Queen of the Prom (tiaras optional)! Dress up or dress down – it's entirely up to you.

This night also doubles as our Sundance Reunion Night. How long has it been since you've been to Sundance Saloon. Months? Years? You are still a part of our community! Come on down to Sundance Saloon and catch up with old friends, and maybe even make some new ones. Not able to dance? That's OK – come anyway, hang out, and enjoy the club and our company. We'll have name tags for everyone so we can all remember the names we've forgotten.
