What is Kizomba? Kizomba is a sensual dance that originated in Angola in the '80s. The word 'kizomba' means 'party' in the Angolan language Kimbundo. It is a fusion of Semba, the predecessor of Samba with Zouk music of the French Caribbean Islands. Kizomba is more laid back than tango but more intimate, slow and sensual than salsa. In the last few years, Kizomba has quickly spread throughout Europe via Portugal. Now it is taking its place in the USA. Kizomba Classes with Bay Area's most favorite …

Let's get together on weekends to wander around San Francisco, sketching people and places. You don't have to be the next Paul Madonna, just someone who likes observing city life and making marks on paper. (Note that we used to be called Urban Sketchers. Same group, just a different name.)

To all the painters, and those who wish they could paint, in the Bay Area, join this group and participate in paint sessions and workshops in the spacious and sunny Studio Teobi, San Francisco.

Every Sunday evening, a small group of us get together to indulge in glasses of wine, delicious cookies, and drawing beautiful naked women. This all takes place in the chapel of an old convent turned artist collective. The acoustics and lighting in this room are amazing and we take full advantage of it with well selected tunes, and occasionally a live musician to tantalize your ear drums. Bring your own materials. We do not provide easels, but we have cushions, backjacks, and chairs. $10! wine a …

Let's meet in one of San Francisco's parks, pair up, and draw each other. This is a casual, fun activity and all are welcome - not just "artists." We'll rotate through the parks, so it's also a way to get to know the city better.

Bottled water corporations are trying to change the way people think about water. Water is a human right and common resource, not a commodity to be bought and sold. By retailing and promoting bottled water in our national parks, the bottled water industry is attempting to paint its eco-unfriendly product green. Our national parks were never meant to serve as billboards and concession stands for the bottled water industry. It sends the wrong message about our national commitment to water, our mos …

We are a group of gals (and guys, if there are any so inclined) who meet once a month in Dogpatch to do a fun craft and enjoy a matching "themed" cocktail. We may be working with paper, paints, stamps, sewing, bedazzling, making small gifts or ornaments. During or after our craft-making we can enjoy a hand-crafted cocktail! Whatever our craft, the cocktail will match!

I assume you think, dream or make art like I do. I am not as much into the museum scene but tend to check out local galleries and some genres of art in particular; impressionism upwards, abstract and such kinds of stuff that puts some people to sleep. I hate to use the word 'serious', but as an artist, I am constantly looking for new ideas and thought I'd be fun to do this with others. To get a sense of the tone of the group, perhaps you can check out my artist page & blog at facebook.com/thou.a …

This is a group for everyone interested in healing aspect of art through meditation, sound healing and crystals. All skills levels are welcome. I started this group because I want to meet other people with same interest and spiritualism.I'm looking forward to exploring the many different ways art can change our lives.

This group is for girls in their 20's who are looking to make long-lasting and gratifying friendships. You may think this an odd title for a group of this sort, so allow me to share a story. This quote is from one of my all-time favorite books, The Perks of Being a Wallflower, but that's not what I think of when I hear it. In my spring semester of 2011, I studied abroad in Rome and made friends with two amazing girls. These girls and I found that our common ground was a crazy thirst for life and …
