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.

Article: Marty
 
Got home from dancing tonight. To wind down, I put on TCM and the last 40 minutes of Marty was on. I knew enough not to change the channel.
 
Winner of four 1955 Academy Awards Best Picture, Best Actor, Best Director and Best Screenplay, up against James Dean in East of Eden.
 
"Tommy, I just need a couple of minutes. You and Virginia can fight any time," says Marty, and "College girls are one step from the street," warns Aunt Katrina, are two of the priceless lines in scene after scene.
 
A seemingly, simple movie, covering a day and a half in the life of Ernest Borgnine's Marty. A mid-thirties butcher, Marty is overjoyed to have met his match, only to have his happiness sabotaged by his family and friends.
 
Says Marty, "She's a dog and I'm a fat, ugly man. Well, all I know is I had a good time last night."
 
I first saw Marty movie at Tampa Theatre in the 1980s. Some movies are better every time you see them. Marty is one of those movies.
