First Friday Los Altos
Featuring local bands in the downtown triangle from 6-9 PM.
First Friday Dance for Joy
Looking for a Moving Experience?
On First Friday October 1st Moving to the Grove is the theme for Downtown Los Altos First Friday.
Los Altos Dance Academy (formerly San Juan Dance), will be performing outside the Assistance league on State Street and The Spartan Dance club from Mountain View High School will be performing at the Veterans Community Plaza. Both dance groups will perform, teach a community dance lesson and then the young dancers will be “dancing for joy” around downtown to the 14 First Friday Bands.
“Put on your dancing shoes and have some fun on First Friday” say First Friday organizers Carol Garsten of Nature Gallery and Jamie Lucia of Altos Animal Chiropractic. “The combination of music, dance and community is magical,” say the First Friday duo.
Pictured are some of the dynamic young dancers from Los Altos Dance Academy and the Spartan Dance club at Mountain View High School.

Bigelow's Tree House
Since 2008, the Bay Area’s own Bigelow’s Treehouse has been setting the tension of the modern world to a bopping beat. Armed with a cocktail of guilt, delusion, and fizzy water, they shuffle their way through nervous funk, eighties-tinged alt Brit rock, and cinematic Real Book surf dub jazz trip hop. Bigelow’s Treehouse has been redefining dad rock for a generation of slackers who still look to bands for answers to questions that nobody asked.
