Swing Party, Tango, Ballroom Party, Clogging Party, Mom's Date

Hello Gainesville Ocala Area Dancers and Friends,
 
Lots of parties this week. They do not happen that often so take advantage.
 
This week's newsletter is out early to remind you of the monthly West Coast Swing dance at the Eagles Club Wednesday night (tonight). This is only the second one. If you want them to continue, show your support and get out there.
 
UF Swing Club is at the UTC Friday. Next Thursday April 15 is the UF Swing Club Formal at the Reitz Union. They only do this once a year.
 
Thursday West Coast Swing with Judi, Tuesday East Coast Swing with Richard and next Wednesday West Coast with Josh.
 
Do not know yet where Tango Y Te will be this week, but Tango Encanto has their dance this Friday night. They only do this twice a month.
 
This Saturday night is a ballroom dance at Maria Alvarez. This is a once-a-month happenning.
 
This Sunday is a Clogging Social. I cannot remember the last one, so it is pretty infrequent. I do not think you have to be a clogger to check this out. Try something new. It will be good for you.
 
April 15-18 there is a Tango festival in Atlanta. www.atlantatangofestival.com
 
See the schedule for other dancing.
 
Happy Dancing,
Andy

Quotes:
 
- To quote a dictum of Simon, what a horse does under compulsion he does blindly, and his performance is no more beautiful than would be that of a ballet-dancer taught by whip and goad. The performances of horse or man so treated would seem to be displays of clumsy gestures rather than of grace and beauty. What we need is that the horse should of his own accord exhibit his finest airs and paces at set signals. ~ Xenophon

- To dance or to marry, one has to get close. ~ Spanish Proverb

Article: My Mother's Date
 
Took my nephew to the Itchetucknee today. Called him last night to charge the water proof camera. When I picked him up, I asked him where the camera was. His sister took it to the beach. She does not even go in the water. Makes you shake your head.
 
My mother will be 78 this month. Last year she was over a friend's house and the guy jumped her. She was not interested and fended him off. Once a natural beauty, always a natural beauty.
 
My sister has been looking for someone for my mother for a while and set my mother up with one of my sister's patients.
 
The guy took her out one night and last Friday had her over for dinner with his daughter. I met him. He was a nice guy.
 
Tonight he called her and asked her to a movie.
 
In a phone call that lasted less than ten seconds, my mother said, "Look Bill," in tone that would chill a hot day in Florida,  "I am not interested in dating," and bam hung up the phone.
 
It is not the rudest thing I have seen a woman do, but I told her it was.
 
She could not have cared less and did not give the poor guy one second thought.
 
If you thought it was going to get easier when you got older, it is not.
