A great place to dance. Â Half vintage waltz (rotary, cross-step), half other stuff: Â "fox trot/swing, blues, salsa/rumba/cha-cha, zydeco, the occasional polka/schottische/hambo--who knows what!" Â People are friendly. Â Dress is casual. Â Mondays, 7:30pm-9:30pm. Â $5.
Some of the dancers head to Sonny Newman's for lindy hop swing dancing (9:30pm to midnight) right after the dance. Â I did the night I was in town. Â Sonny's is about 100 blocks south.
Waltz etcetera is similar to Friday Night Waltz in the Bay Area in California.  <a href="/redir?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.fridaynightwaltz.com%2F&s=e214d3877745b1c7eecab2901c0630078b738dee016f9be2e430ad6c9fc32183" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://www.fridaynightwa…</a>

Many of the dancers also come down for the Stanford Waltz Weekend each summer when it's held.  That's where I first met some of them.  <a href="/redir?url=http%3A%2F%2Fdance.stanford.edu%2Fdanceweeks%2Fwaltzweekend.htm&s=0120b109e455d2b338e42f158916450a177a0be8aacfb0d1763d5382dcff974b" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://dance.stanford.ed…</a>
