This Sunday in West Coast Swing, we will go over something we
have not covered yet, the woman's one-and-a-half turn. Maybe
we will give the men a turn too so they can share in the fun.
See the article below for class structure.
Thanks to everyone that came to the social last week.
We had a nice turn out and got in a lot of dancing.
Let me know what I can do to make the dance parties better
for you.
Pay attention to the music and let me know what you like and
do not like. Check the iPod for the name of the songs and make
a note on the list by the sound system. Make requests as well.
Am thinking about holding a beginners class for Hustle.
Let me know if you are interested.
There are swing classes in both East and West Coast on Wednesday
nights starting at 7 pm at the Eagles Club, formerly Dubs, on
North 441 where 13 Street curves off towards Alachua.
We are doing one-night only of Israeli Partner Dancing,
Monday, September 14 at 7 pm at a private home in
NW Gainesville near NW 43 Street and NW 8 Avenue.
This will be real easy, suitable for first timers.
Space is limited. Let me know if you can make it.
Remember, three weeks of free clogging classes is starting
Sunday September 13. Take advantage of this opportunity.
It only comes along once a year.
This Sunday is a Contra dance at the Boltin Center at 4 pm.
There are a few things going on at the ballroom dance studio
this month. Check one or more out that sound appealing to you.
- Regular monthly social on Saturday September 12
- Country Two Step class on Monday September 21
- Benefit Dance for St. Jude's Children Research Hospital
on Saturday September 26

Article: Class Structure
During our regular weekly classes we try to mix learning
with social dance time.
The format of the evening is:
6:30 - 7:30 : Class
7:30 - 8:30 : Structured practice, rotating partners
8:30 - 9:30 : Open dancing
The class format we have been trying to follow is:
1. Warm up to get comfortable with our footwork
and practice keeping time with the music
2. Some sort of balance exercise to improve a
basic skill in walking or turning
3. Communication and choreography
During structured practice, we rotate partners to
make sure everyone is getting in dances. In between
dances, I may point out ideas for you to try.
Let me know what changes you would like to make the
dance sessions better for you.
