Israel Independence Day dancing, Sacred Groove, No Hustle, Ballroom, Tango, Swing

Hello Gainesville Ocala Social Dancers,
 
Sunday come out and give me a hand, and two feet, at the Israel Independence Day, Yom Hatzmaot celebration where I will be leading simple folk dances that anyone can do. No experience needed. Dress is comfortable, casual. Should be a fun time and your support will be appreciated. There will be an excellent, live Klezmer band, the Klezmer Katz. We will do a few dances during each of their sets, starting around 12:30 and ending around 3:30. The event is free. You can buy lunch there. At UF Hillel, 2020 W University Avenue. Park across the street at the O'Connell Center parking lot.
 
Friday night is Swing and Sway, UF Swing Club and UF Tango Club.
 
Saturday Tango Pavadita hosts an Argentine Tango milonga and Ray and Eileen host a Ballroom dance.
 
Sunday you can still join us for Contra Dancing 101 from 5 to 6 at 308 West and then Swing 101 from 6 to 7. We will not be having Swing and Hustle afterwards this week.
 
Instead, on Sunday come out for Sacred Groove Meditative Dance at 7 at 308 West.
 
Monday is Samba, English Country and Israeli dancing.
 
Tuesday is Argentine Tango with Nick and Elke, Ballroom with Ray and Eileen and Richard will be teaching Waltz and Foxtrot this month.
 
Essie had her last class last Wednesday. We will miss her. Judi will not start her Wednesday class until June. For the month of May, we will play West Coast Swing music on Wednesday nights so you come out and dance and practice. There will be no teaching, just music for dancing. Times will vary, so check each week. This week, Wednesday May 2 dancing will go from 8 to 10. The cost will remain the same as Essie's class, which is $6 general, $4 students.
 
Thursdays Ray teaches Bolero this month.

Tuesday, April 17, 2012

Nia Starts, Swing 101, Contra 101, WCS Party, Tango Beginners, Waltz Brunch

Hello Gainesville Ocala Social Dancers,
 
Lots of great choices for dancing, both for new and experienced dancers.
 
First, what is new. Monday evening from 6 to 7 starts a new class Nia Holistic Dance and Fitness with Sarit Sela at 308 West. On Tuesdays is Argentine Tango 101 from 6 to 7:30 at 308 West, a small class with nurturing, personal attention.
 
Next, my sessions. Sunday come dance with us from 5 to 9:30, four sessions all for a total of $10, or only $7 if you paid for organized dancing somewhere else during the week. From 5 to 6 is Contra 101. From 6 to 7 is Swing 101. From 7 to 9:30 is experienced Swing and Hustle! This last part is informal with a lot of dancing. We take teaching requests and adjust the program to who is there. If there is anything you want to learn, come out and let us know. Generally 7 to 8:30 is Lindy Swing and 8:30 to 9:30 is Hustle! Last week we did Hustle almost the entire time, with a requested Vintage Waltz lesson at the end so people could join the Waltz Brunch. Sometimes we do West Coast Swing to help people get ready for the dances.

Now, upcoming dancing in order by date. This newsletter is out early to remind you of tonight's West Coast Swing dance party at 8 pm at 308 West.
 
This is the third Thursday of the month, which means you can join Blues dancing at Death Letter Blues. Also Thursday Judi teaches West Coast Swing at 8 pm at 308 West. Ray and Eileen teach their Ballroom speciality class, which I think is Quickstep this month, at By Ear Musician.
 
Friday both UF Swing and Tango clubs meet at their usual times and places.
 
Saturday night is the monthly Contra dance at the Boltin Center with a lesson at 7:30 and dancing from 8 to 11.
 
Sunday is the monthly Waltz Brunch at 308 West from 10:30 to 1:30. Sunday evening starting at 5 is Contra 101, Swing 101, experienced Swing and Hustle!
 
Monday starts Nia. Also on Monday at 308 West are English Country dancing and Israeli dancing.
 
Tuesday at 308 West are Argentine Tango 101 and Ballroom dancing with Ray and Eileen. Richard teaches East Coast Swing on Tuesday at the Boltin Center.
 
Next Wednesday April 25, sadly, but with a joyous celebration, is Essie's last West Coast Swing session. Come out to wish her off well. We will miss her.
 
Two other excellent opportunities to learn Argentine Tango are with Andrea Pham, pham.andrea@gmail.com and with David Chayes, david.chayes@gmail.com.

Happy Dancing,
Andy
