Hello Gainesville Ocala Social Dancers,
 
We have a Waltz weekend coming up.
 
Start the weekend on Friday evening with back-to-back dances, first Ballroom Waltz with Kay Picart at 6:30 then stay at 308 West and join the UF Tango Club.
 
Saturday you have your choice of a Contra Dance at the Boltin Center or a Tango Pavadita milonga at 308 West.
 
Sunday morning come to the monthly Vintage Waltz Brunch, which goes from 10:30 to 1:30.
 
You can still join us Sunday evening at 6 for the last session of Social Dancing for People with Two Left Feet, even if you missed the other sesions.
 
Come from 7 to 8:15 for Lindy and stay for an hour of Hustle afterwards. These two sessions are part class, mostly dancing, since this is the only time we get to regularly dance this two dances.
 
Monday join our Beginner Israeli Folk Dancing at B'nai Israel at 7.
 
East Coast Swing class is back at Richard's on Tuesday night at 7 at the Boltin Center.
 
Andrea Pham is starting a new beginner series for people new to Argentine Tango on Wednesdays starting June 22. This is a great chance to get started with people at the same level as you. Contact Andrea at pham.andrea@gmail.com
 
Coming up at on the last weekend of June are workshops with visiting guest instructors, followed by dance parties. Saturday June 25 Federico and Victoria will teach a Tango workshop. Sunday June 26 Patti Jobst, Two-time US Open Swing Champion, will teach West Coast Swing (https://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=220130281334764).  Take this opportunity to raise your dancing to a new level and come out to a fun evening of dancing with people from all over North Florida who will be joining us.
