090507 Super Simple West Coast Swing Beginner Series starts May 10

Hello Gainesville Area Dancers and Friends,

This Sunday May 10 starts the Super Simple West Coast Swing 4 week
beginner series.

The last time this class was done was in 2007.
Make sure you come to this class.

This is a great chance for you or anyone you know to get started
partner dancing, especially the men. No experience and no partner
needed. The class will go slow enough so no dancer is left behind.

If you have any interest in West Coast Swing now or in the future
take this class. You will learn the basics you need to know to drop-in
anytime during the year and be able to keep up.

This is a special class, where you will be able to learn nice, slow
and easy with other people at the same level as you.

There will also be course materials you can use to practice with
at home. After each class, I will send you what we learned.

West Coast Swing is both among the easiest and most sophisticated
of dances, which you can do to a huge variety of great music.

The class is from 6:30 to 7:30 on Sundays May 10, 17, 24 and 31.
Come to this class even if you miss some Sundays.

You can stay afterwards for the Intermediate West Coast Swing class
and practice what you learned the first hour.

-------------
Other Dancing
-------------

Saturday May 23 come to White Springs for a great day at the Florida
Folk Festival and two hours of Klezmer dancing with the band Chutzpah.
Bring a tent and camp out overnight. I will be leading the Klezmer dance.

Try out Friday night International Folk Dancing at GDMA.
If you have not tried it yet, expand your repetoire.

Happy Dancing,
Andy
