It’s time again for one of the city’s best free gifts to us: SummerDance! For just over eight weeks this summer, you’ll be able to find free events each week at a variety of public locations celebrating dance styles from all around the world. Sir Nose d’Voidoffunk, Bob, Sheila, Chad, and everybody can get down with some semblance of grace thanks to the free dance lessons that each event starts with, courtesy of local professional dancers and dance studios. If you still feel like this is not for you because you have core-deep shame about sticking your butt out in public (by the way, we’ve seen it, it’s fine, we have one too, don’t worry about it), you can also just sit on the sidelines and enjoy the bands.

Wed 7/31, 6-9 PM: Shimmy to salsa with the help of Denita Inez & Desueño Dance, along with DJ El Caobo Internacional at Douglas Park (1401 S. Sacramento)
