090227 West Coast Swing, Hustle, Contra, Jazz Tickets, Blood at Tango

Hello Gainesville Area Dancers and Friends,

Come out this Sunday to GDMA for some fun West Coast Swing
and Hustle dancing. Beginners West Coast Swing at 6:30.

The Contra dance was a lot of fun last Saturday night.
There is another this Sunday. If you can walk, you can Contra.

I will be giving away two tickets to a Gainesville Friends
of Jazz Concert worth $40. You must be there to win.

Hope you saw Venus and the crescent moon last night. It was
something special. Venus is about the brightest it ever is.
If you missed it, be sure to look to the west after sunset.

Happy Dancing,
Andy

Article: Drawing Blood at Tango

You may have heard me say, it took me three years to take one
step in Tango. It was not a good step, but it gave me the
opportunity to start improving.

Tango has a lot of fancy steps, but I do not do them.

For the year and a half since, all I have been doing is
working on the basic step.

Last Wednesday, at Andrea's class that devotion was finally
rewarded. Elke and I actually danced. No stumbling, no wrestling.
For three songs, we were in control.

Thursday I was feeling good. I told my mother, "I am getting
pretty good at Tango."

Friday I went to the UF Tango Club. Elke was there. She said,
"That was the best we ever did." She was still excited from
Wednesday too.

We started dancing. I tried to go right. It is hard to go right.
Soon blood was flowing from Elke's toes.

Do you ever wonder, how long is this going to take?

Designer, steeled toed dance shoes might be a good seller.
