The Yosemite Workshop Dancers was led by Don and Lyn Landauer. The group met each Monday night at the Yosemite Playground (from which it took its name) in Highland Park, not too far from Pasadena. Most of the dancers in the group, such as Dick and Doris Slater, were in both the Yosemite Workshop Dancers and the Gandy Dancers. Photos c. 1958.
