Israeli Dancing Tonight, Special Ballroom and Tango

Hello Gainesville Ocala Israeli and Folk Dancers,
 
Tonight is the last night of the 4-Week Beginner Israeli Dancing run through Santa Fe College. If you missed prior weeks you can still join us. We of course well continue to dance on Monday nights when this series ends.
 
If Israeli Dancing is too much running around for you, try English Country Dancing on Monday at 308 West.
 
Sandi is no longer running Line Dancing on Tuesday nights at the Eagles, so come to Israeli or English on Mondays. If you can Line Dance, you can Israeli Dance. If Fridays are better for you, join the International Folk Dancers.
 
Andrea Pham is starting a new 6-Week Beginning Argentine Tango series this Wednesday. If you have ever had an interest in Argentine Tango, this is the best time to start, with a group of others at the same level as you. pham.andrea@gmail.com
 
Caroline Picart is teaching intermediate to advanced ballroom dancing on some Friday nights at 308 West. If you know how to dance and want to improve your technique, Ky can help you get that ballroom dancing look. Kay is a real professional and US Open Champion who will give you individual feedback in a group class. cjpicart@gmail.com
 
No Lindy Swing next Sunday. Next weekend there is a Tango workshop on Saturday and a West Coast Swing workshop on Sunday with visiting guest instructors. Check the social dance newsletter for details.
 
Happy Dancing,
Andy

  Vanquished by time, first was mother,

  Three hopes sustained me
  But two turned to lies

Dance Quotes:
 
- So you are ashamed to see me, hey? Well, I have not changed. Ciao, have a nice day. ~ Celedonio Esteban Flores, 1896-1947, poet of tango
 
- Three basic hopes all turned and fled
  two tinted white, one tinted red
  Vanquished by time, first was mother,
  second were people, third was a lover
  Three hopes sustained me
  But two turned to lies
  And Ma went and died!
  ~ Enrique Santos Discepolo, 1901 - 1951, poet of tango

Article: Shavuot Israeli Dances
 
Shavuot is the holiday that celebrates the giving of the Torah,
which is the five books of Moses.
 
Shavuot is 50 days after Passover. On Passover the Israelites
left Egypt in a hurry. 7 weeks and one day later, the Israelites
arrived got the Torah at Mount Sinai.
 
The tradition is that every Jewish soul was at Mount Sinai
when God gave the Torah to Israel, which is why there is a
Jewish singles website www.SawYouAtSinai.com.
 
Shavuot is the summer harvest festival and is celebrated by
studying Torah and eating New York cheesecake.
 
At Sinai, God offered the Torah to the Jewish people and each soul
answered, "We will do and we will hear," which the Rabbis teach us
means we will eat cheesecake even if we do not understand the reason why.
www.aish.com/h/sh/se/48967001.html
 
Some dances we will try to get in for Shavuot are:
 
- Al Sadenu : On Our Fields
 
- Adama Admati : Land, My Land
 
- Adama Veshamayim : Earth and Sky
 
- Ashrei Haish : Blessed is the Man (Moses and the Burning Bush)
 
- Shibolet Basade : Ear of Grain in the Field
 
- Yedid Nefesh : Soul Mate
 
- Yevarechecha : He Will Bless You
