Israeli, Ira Weisburd workshop dances

Hello Gainesville Ocala Israeli and Folk Dancers,
 
Ira's workshop was a great time. See the article for more information.
 
Israeli folk dancing tonight is back to normal with beginners from 7 to 8 and intermediate from 8 to 9. We usually do partner dances the last half hour. You do not need a partner. We rotate partners.
 
Believe there is International Folk Dancing this Friday 11/09.
 
At Swing 101 Natalie asked me, "Don't you correct them?"
 
I said, "No, the most important thing for them is confidence."
 
Happy Dancing,
Andy

Article: Gainesville Dancers on Ira Weisburd's Workshop
 
Ira Weisburd's Israeli Dance Workshop this week at B'nai Israel was a big success, attended by over 40 people, which is great for Gainesville, with a small contigent coming from Jacksonville on a Monday night even.
 
Kol Simcha (KS), Gainesville International Folk Dancers (GFID), Veronica Lane and company from Jacksonville and my B'nai Israel group, along with some independents were the participants.
 
Jack Seltzer of GIFD wrote: "On Halloween day, Andy Weitzen organized a 3 hour workshop with Ira Weisburd, a fine choreographer from south Florida. Just a fine Israeli – novelty dance workshop which moved along all evening….Ira went through 13 dances in the 3 hours. An Israeli Hasspico Mozart(boy, Israeli doing slight Greek to Mozart music…far out), a cha cha espana(a turning 90 deg. Kind of novelty dance which I'd like to do tomorrow night….yes, we dance tomorrow night at the Fellowship!) , and a gypsy styled dance called Hatzoani and a dance called Yeminite Feet, etc. Anyway, just an upbeat fun and extremely quick 3 hour night of dancing non-stop."
 
Tony Arroyo of Kol Simcha wrote: "The workshop last night was a huge success for al the KS people that attended. Ira is a very good teacher and a lot of his stuff is really nice. Thank you for your hard work! ... It allowed me to invite a broader spectrum and 3-4 of those non-dancers did show up and enjoyed it."
 
Veronica Lane from Jacksonville wrote: "Charlie, Linda Holfinger , Lyle and I just returned from Ira's workshop in Gainesville. What a wonderful teacher he is! So nice to see my int'l dance friends there, too."
 
Thanks to all who came Ira's workshop for making it such a fun evening.
