Starts tonight Intro to Israeli Partner Dancing, Contra dance

Hello Gainesville Ocala Israeli and Folk Dancers,

Come out tonight for the start of Introduction to Israeli Partner Dancing (IPD).

Not much going on later this week because of Thanksgiving, so get your dancing in early.

For everyone. No experience needed. First hour for newcomers, will be slow and easy. Should be a lot of fun.

This is the first dance session I have run in a year, so I hope you can make it.

No English Country on Thursday. Check other programs before going.

There has been an interesting discussion on Rikud about where the Chercassia step came from.

On Monday nights, beginning November 22 to December 27, for, a minimum of 4 and up to 6 nights.

Everyone welcome. No experience and no partner needed.

Treat yourself to some fun doing Israeli Partner Dances. You deserve it.

The first hour is for beginner's. You do not need to know how to dance. You will learn. Everyone can learn Israeli Partner Dancing.

Easy, exuberant, great music, great friends, come out for a great time.

On Monday nights, beginning November 22 to December 27, for, a minimum of 4 and up to 6 nights.

We rotate partners and do dances more than once, so everyone gets to do every dance, everyone gets to dance the same amount and everyone gets to dance with everyone else. If you come with your spouse and you do not want to rotate, you do not have to. Rotating is your option.

Teaching is based on my book Partnership Dancing(tm).

Rather than memorizing choreography, the women will learn the skill of how to follow every Israeli Partner Dance without learning the steps. This is a good skill to have and is applicable to all social dances, particularly choreographed dances. You will be able to follow other folk dances, including things like Contra Dancing, without having to worry about the patterns.

The men will learn how to make every dance a pleasure by communicating via their body language. You will learn how to get the woman to do what you want by manipulating space, without wrestling the woman around.

There is no gender bias. You can dance which ever part you want.

We will be videoing some of the teaching.
