    Sundance Saloon. Twice-weekly dance lessons and open country-western dancing featuring a variety of dance forms including two-step, waltz, east coast swing, west coast swing, line dancing, and more. These events take place in a club setting and are open to the general public, with typically 60 attendees on a Thursday, and 120 on a Sunday. Dance lessons typically take place in multiple rooms, allowing for beginning and advanced level lessons simultaneously. Sundance Saloon caters to the LGBT+ community and its friends.

Sundance Saloon offers a safe haven for older attendees (as well as younger attendees), folks in recovery, financially-challenged individuals, those struggling with isolation, and those needing a place for solace and renewal to help cope with life's challenges.

  • Sundance Stompede Dance Convention

    The Sundance Stompede. Our annual four-day country-western dance convention featuring four nights of large-scale dances and three days of educational dance workshops. Dance lessons take place in up to six rooms simultaneously, offering an incomparable depth and breadth of dance styles, including two-step, waltz, east coast swing, west coast swing, line dancing, and more, for all levels, beginning to advanced. In 2023 there were over 800 participants, one-third from the greater San Francisco Bay Area, and two-thirds from all over the US, Canada, Europe, and Australia. The Sundance Stompede is the largest and most respected event of its kind in the world. The Sundance Stompede serves to bring a global community together, and has been a prime factor in spreading our culture of inclusiveness and welcoming around the world. The Sundance Stompede also helps to raise funds for other LGBT-focused nonprofit organizations.

  • Special Events for LGBT+ Community

    Special Events. The Sundance Association presents numerous additional special events in San Francisco, expanding its reach to the greater LGBT+ community and its friends. In 2023 we held large country-western dances with lessons at large outdoor festivals including San Francisco Pride and the Castro Street Fair, free to the public. Our additional exposure to the general public from these events numbered in the thousands. In addition, we produced an additional indoor event during the San Francisco Pride weekend, with 150 in attendance, and an outdoor event called "Sundance In The Park" at Stern Grove in San Francisco, with 60 in attendance.
