Fashion Show

See-Throo from Los Angeles will present at Tokyo Dark Castle San Francisco a Gothic Lolita Fashion Show Featuring designs from See-Throo Jo, Vanessa Zuloaga, Catherine To, Sharon Maher, Craig McCollough, and Melinda Sanders.

Gothic Waltz

What could be more gothic then a waltz? In San Francisco there is a huge cross over from the goth scene to the waltz scene. Therefore we felt it a moral imperative to create a place where you can waltz to goth music.

What if you don't know how to Waltz? For you we have Persephone a gothic creature herself, and one of the Bay Area's most sought after dance instructors. She will gladly educate you in the ways of couple dancing.

Gothic Bazaar

Imagine if you will a renaissance market, only all the venders are offing wares to entice your gothic sensibilities. Sound like your kind of shopping?
