What types of events do you share?
We post events in the Monterey area that include dance lessons, social dancing, or live, danceable music at a venue that welcomes dancers.
What styles of dance can I find here?
As of now, the calendar is focused on partner and social dancing. ie. Ballroom, Latin, East Coast and Jazz-era Swing, West Coast Swing, Contra, Country Western, etc.
What geographic areas do you cover?
We currently list events that take place in the peninsular towns of Monterey, Seaside, Marina, Carmel-by-the-Sea, and Carmel Valley. We may, in time, expand to include other nearby areas. You can email us to request this.
Can I find MDC on social media?
No. Monterey Dance Calendar aims to present information in a clear and simple manner that does not require the use of social media.
If you prefer the social media route, check out Monterey Dance Club.
Can you link to my website or social media in the event post?
Yes, currently we are linking to outside urls to help dancers find your event. You will see an option to provide this when you submit.
I see my event posted, but I’d like it taken down. Can you remove it?
We aim to create a comprehensive list of dance events in the area and hope you will be happy to see your event shared here. If you really want it taken down, kindly send us an email, and we will remove the event when we next update the calendar.
I submitted my event but don’t see it on the calendar. Why?
Monterey Dance Calendar is typically updated twice a week. Please keep this timeframe in mind and submit your event in advance. If a week has passed and you still do not see your event, please send a follow-up email to montereydances[at]gmail.com.
The information in my event listing is wrong. Can you fix it?
Of course! Kindly email us and we will correct it ASAP. We are doing the best we can to share accurate information, but we do sometimes make mistakes.
Who runs this thing anyway?
MDC is a labor of love, created and managed by one of your fellow dancers. If you are a little bit techy and interested in helping out, please reach out: montereydances[at]gmail.com.
