Ballroom Dancing, Swing, Tango, Schedule Changes and New Classes

Hello Gainesville Ocala Social Dancers,
 
Congratulations and a big thank you to Essie Jennings, who taught her last class, at least for now, this week. Essie is moving to North Carolina. Wish Essie all the best. We will miss her.
 
Kay teaches Ballroom American Tango this Friday at 308 West. Afterwards you learn Argentine Tango with the UF Tango Club.
 
Saturday night Tango Pavadita holds their regional milonga at 308 West.
 
Sunday afternoon is a Ballroom Dance at the Senior Center with Maria Alvarez teaching a Ch Cha lesson and Joe Glover and Mary Reed dancing a short performance. Chad is the DJ.
 
Sunday evening you can still join the Super Simple Swing 101 series from 6 to 7. From 7 to 8:15 come for Swing for people with some experience and from 8:15 to 9:30 Hustle! Sunday we learn to dance without any pushing or pulling.
