Social dancing in San Francisco with DanceSF
Space 550 · 550 Barneveld Ave

DANCE FRIDAYS SF

San Francisco's Friday night: two beginner lessons, an optional intermediate bachata class in the back room, then the floor stays open until 1:30 AM.

$15–$20 in advance — $25 at the door. Advance tickets sell out on big nights.

HOW FRIDAY NIGHT RUNS

Dance Fridays at Space 550 in the Bayview is the big-room end of what we do. Doors open at 7:45 PM, lessons start at 8, and from 9:30 PM the night belongs to the social floor until 1:30 AM.

There are two beginner lessons: 8:00 PM Beginning Bachata and 8:45 PM Beginning Salsa. Intermediate Bachata at 9:00 PM is an optional class in the back room and overlaps the beginning salsa lesson. Nothing carries over from last week, so any Friday is a fine first Friday.

It is a nightclub, not a studio — big floor, real sound, and a crowd that came to dance. If you want the smaller, class-first version of this, that is SalsaCrazy Mondays over in the Inner Richmond.
