091112 Israeli Dancing, West Coast Swing early, Dance Party, Balboa

Hello Gainesville Area Israeli Dancers and Friends,

Israeli Dancing continues on Thursdays. Everyone invited.

This week there is a change to the West Coast Swing schedule.
We will start at 6:00 and go to about 7:45, with a discount
in the price to $5 (from $8).

The reason for the change is there will be a Balboa class
and dance starting at 8:00. Christian plans to have a Balboa
night once a semester. Come to West Coast Swing and then join
the Balboa group. Balboa is a companion dance to swing, danced
in close embrace to fast music.

No international folk dancing this week.

Phoebe Cade Miles with the Cade Museum Foundation speaks at
next week's Gainesville Area Innovative Network meeting.
Her father Dr. Cade was the inventor of Gatorade and numerous
other inventions. These are interesting networking opportunities
open to everyone.

Happy Dancing,
Andy

Balboa is a swing dance with a very distinctive feel.
The feel is the chief reason people fall in love with it.
It is danced primarily in close embrace and its body lead
allows for great and subtle expressivity.

Cade Museum Foundation

Phoebe Miles, a native of Gainesville and the daughter of
the late inventor of Gatorade, is the president and founder
of the Cade Museum Foundation, which will be located near the
historic downtown of Gainesville, Florida, and is scheduled
to open in 2012. Focused on "inventing possibilities," it
will showcase the creative process of invention and partner
with a wide array of local institutions to sponsor interactive
educational programs at all levels.

Phoebe Cade Miles will discuss how the planned Cade Museum of
Innovation and Invention will highlight and encourage Gainesville's
national reputation as a center of invention and creativity and how
this will be a key to our future economic growth and stability.
She'll discuss Gainesville's history and reputation as an exporter
of ideas and inventions, and how the invention of Gatorade (including
her father's contentious relationship with the University in the 70's)
helped to transform our community. Mrs Miles also will explain how the
Cade Museum will help to fill the "creative inventiveness" gap in our
educational system. Finally, she will speak about how the transformation
of Depot Park will become a leading example of a successful environmental
cleanup.

Mrs. Miles, currently residing in Washington, DC with her family, is
also the vice-president and founder of the Gloria Dei Foundation, a
family-operated charity organized in 2004 to help those in need by
providing grants to successful and innovative non-profit organizations.

Article: Partner Rotation

People not having partners at Israeli Dancing sessions and
workshops is a problem. It makes Israeli Dancing less sociable
and unfairly excludes people.

The last two weekends I attended Tango and West Coast Swing
workshops and had completely opposite experiences because of
the partner rotation. Partner rotation issues are not unique
to Israeli Dancing. I shared my experiences on the Israeli
Partner Dance group. You can read about it here.

Article: Teachers Get Discouraged Too

Only last week I wrote an article "Have Faith and a Miracle
Will Happen" because it is so easy to get discouraged as a
dance student.

This week, our little Tango class had to comfort our teacher,
because it can be even more discouraging for dance teachers.

She was discouraged, because when she went out dancing,
people wanted to do fancy steps and it did not feel good.
She said she does not want to dance for show, only to feel good.

She wanted to quit because she felt everyone wants to learn
showy moves. She wants to teach good technique.

We encouraged her and reassured her we want to improve our skill.
When she asks us what we want to learn, I always say I just want
to get better at the simple things. I hope she does not quit.
That would be a loss. I like our little group.

Aritcle: It Is a Mitzvah to Visit the Sick and the House of Mourning

A mitzvah is a commandment from Hashem.
It is more than a good deed, it is a responsibility.

Today I went to a shiva minyan (a service for those in mourning).
Tuesday I was in the hospital for six hours visiting a relative.

When I was young, I had not visited people in the hospital
or in mourning, and when I first went, I was uncomfortable.
Not knowing what to say or do, I wanted to avoid going,
but I went when I was supposed to.

One day, it was my house of mourning and it was my loved one
in the hospital and people came. Once you are on the other side,
you know what to say and do.

You do not have to say anything and all you have to do is be there.
