Bear Dance is a census-designated place (CDP) in Lake County, Montana, United States. The population was 275 at the 2010 census.[2] It is located on Montana Highway 35 on the east bank of Flathead Lake, 22 miles northeast from Polson, and 11 miles south from Bigfork.
Moderated by Flathead Lake, Bear Dance features a warm summer humid continental climate (Köppen Dfb) with short summers, running approximately from mid-June to early September, and cold snowy winters. Being part of the Western Canadian Rockies ecoregion,[3] it is typified by a larger diurnal temperature range than one would expect within the same climate type in the lowlands. Bear Dance is somewhat moister compared to nearby Kalispell. It lies along the fringe of USDA hardiness zones 6a and 6b.[4]
