Challenge dance of the week: Golden State Round Up

Golden State Round Up features several popular local callers for their challenge dance program this year. The festival takes place Memorial Weekend, May 27-29, 2005 in Pleasanton.

This year, the festival takes place at a new venue, the Hilton Hotel in Pleasanton. Those who attended Round Up while it was in the Oakland Convention Center will remember how convenient it was to have the entire festival under one roof, both dance halls and hotel. Now in 2005 we'll get to have that same experience once again.

The challenge program features John Bowman, Pete Herman, Harlan Kerr, and John Sybalsky calling several hours each of C1, C2, C3A, and C3. You'll find a concise challenge dance schedule here.

For those so inclined, the weekend also features square dancing at all levels starting at Mainstream, with popular callers Bob Baier, Joe Saltel, and Dan Nordbye. There will also be round dancing at phases II through V. You'll find a complete dance schedule here.
