Hello {!firstname_fix} and Gainesville Ocala Social Dancers,
Congratulations to the Gainesville Swing Community. Last Sunday afternoon Josh held a large swing workshop and dance with Danielle Blouin. Even more impressive was Josh's Wednesday night swing party, with more than a dozen couples on the floor all from Gainesville. When I moved back to Gainesville in 2005, the only swing dancing was with the UF Swing Club. It has been a long road, but we now have a wonderful group of swing dancers from Gainesville. Thanks to all of you that have persisted and developed your skills. Thanks to those organizing swing dancing Cathy Jean, Essie Jennings, Josh Angel, Judi Markell, Maria Alvarez and Richard Nalli. It is a real pleasure to dance with all of you.
Registration for two classes for new dancers is open via Santa Fe College Community Education. Beginner classes are the best way to get new people into the dance community. Encourage those you know to sign up.
The classes are Super Simple Lindy Hop Swing Dancing 101 and International Folk Dancing 101. Sign up now here.
You have three days of Tango, starting Friday night with UF Tango Club, where Burcin and Alper provide some very nice instruction and music to dance to. Saturday night is the classiest dance in town, Tango Pavadita's milonga and Sunday morning the elegant Tango Pavadita brunch.
Lots of Swing this week. On Friday join UF Swing Club. Sunday evening come out for Lindy Swing and Hustle!. Tuesday join Richard for East Coast Swing and Wednesday join Essie for West Coast Swing. Take advantage of the more you dance the more you save program. Dance with Richard and Essie and get half off or more on Sunday night Lindy Swing. Next Friday October 28 is Josh's Halloween Swing Dance.
Monday night join my Israeli Folk Dancing at 7 pm at B'nai Israel for only $5 or free if you come to my Lindy Swing on Sunday.
