Think you are not good enough to dance?  Think again.  Think you had to start dancing when you were 5 years old to have any fun and be any good at it?  Again, not true.  No rhythm?  That can be learned, really. :) We are a friendly, low stress group of dancers that want YOU to come have fun with us.   There will be line dances and couples dances taught and it will be easier mixed with harder lessons.

Are you shy? Do your people skills suck? Do you have a hard time making new friends?  Are you tired of your friends trying to "fix" you by telling you to relax, be more outgoing, in other words, "get over your shyness" ? Do you wish you could hang with a group of people who understand you, who won't judge you for being quiet, for how you look, for how you smell, (ok, please don't stink), or if you say the wrong things, or don't say anything at all - in short - for being socially awkward?  Have y …

Are you tired of trying to find the right place to meet mature (48-65 ish), eligible single folks?  I am.  Bars send the wrong message; singles events are mainly about dancing and loud music with no opportunity to actually get to know folks; dating websites are expensive or just not very helpful and some other meetup groups seem to more like a singles "meat market", only for young folks, or they are non-singles events. I have started this group because I love going out to dinner and socializing …

Interesting people and outgoing personalities, who are well traveled, live locally on the Peninsula, open minded, smart, positive, communicative, curious and over 21, meaning young (at heart)! If you …

There are so many groups out there for "women only" - do guys do that sort of thing? Well, we do! This is a group for guys that love live music (or occasional movies) and want to go with a good group of guys, and hit up some food beforehand. I started this group because I do this all the time with individual friends, and would like do this with a handful of friends. I love going up to SF and seeing some interesting band that I've never heard of. They might be great or they might suck, and either …

New to the area? Having trouble finding new friends? Us too! The goal of this meetup is to meet new people in the Bay Area. Whether moving here for a job or moving here right after college, let's face it, it's difficult to meet new people outside of the work environment. We're aiming to introduce new people over drinks in the area, keeping the group size small, and cheap, with a low time commitment.

We are a group that meets on the first Sunday of Every month. Our main purposes are to explore alternative economies, divert unnecessary landfill waste, connect with our neighbors, and have fun doing it! We are like freecycle.org, but at a Location! As a community we have many more resources than we do as individuals. If we share our resources we won't need to buy as many new ones. This uses fewer of the Earth's resources, and fewer of our working hours, leaving us more time to devote to ourselv …

This is a group to help our kids learn, maintain and love the Spanish language. I started this group because I would like to meet other Spanish-speaking families so that my four-year old daughter can use the language with someone else other than mommy! I think this will be a chance for our kids (and ourselves) to make some new friends. We'll do anything from play dates at our homes to picnics at the park or any other events that will help our kids use their Spanish while doing what kids love mos …
