There's a second Sunday dance in La Verne which is a bike-ride/bus ride/short trip from the Claremont Colleges if that is where you hail from. This trip was farther West though, out toward Pasadena.

Someone also taught a free PE course last year. She may or may not teach it again. Her name is Chris Miller (I think) and is a English professor at Pomona. It had a live band, met weekely, and was *free*. Enrollment was kinda low though. That was the only general bad thing.
