The Bay Area's shelter-in-place order has brought countless events usually held as in-person gatherings online. We're aiming to support local businesses in San Francisco and Oakland by highlighting five of these events each day.
Got a suggestion for an online event based in SF or Oakland? Email our events reporter, Teresa Hammerl.
Here's your San Francisco online event calendar for Tuesday, September 8. Join a flamenco class, learn how to use at art critically and tune in to yoga classes.
Let's Make Stuff with d'Arci Bruno: Everyone’s a Critic

For this class, you will need a piece of your own artwork or artwork that you admire to practice analyzation techniques, as well as a pen and paper to take notes with.
When: Tuesday, September 8, 11:15 a.m.

Price: This is a donation-based class.
Pure Techniques for Bata de Cola - Tuesday in September

Hear about the movement of legs, balancing, half turns and the placement of the bata, which is a dress that has multiple layers of ruffles wallowing for movement during the flamenco dance. There is no need to wear it if a participant doesn't have one or if there isn't enough space to move around with it at home.
When: Tuesday, September 8, 8 p.m.
