Israeli, International, English, Ballroom, Klezmer, Birds and Bees

Hello Gainesville Ocala Israeli and Folk Dancers,
 
Israeli Dancing this Thursday if enough people contact Ariela, so get a hold of her. www.floridastateparks.org/folkfest
 
At the end of the month is the Florida Folk Festival in White Springs. This is a huge event. The Klezmer Band Chutzpah performs on Saturday afternoon at 3. From 5 to 7, they are playing a Klezmer dance and I will be leading dancing.
 
Judi Markell is teaching a beginner's Two-Step class at Imperial Dance Studio on Tuesday nights from 7 to 8 pm for the next 4 weeks. The Two-Step is sort a Country Western version of the Foxtrot and lets you travel around the dance floor. We all know how wonderful a teacher Judi is. Take this opportunity to learn this useful dance. jlmarkkell10@comcast.net.
 
This Friday night May 7 Michael Davis aka Mr. October is performing at the Elks Lodge, a smoke-free venue for dancing and karaoke. Normally you have to be a member, but this night they have opened their doors to the public. And it is free.
 
Saturday night is a ballroom dance at Imperial Dance Studio.
 
GAIN meets next Monday May 10 at 5 to 7 pm, Embers, 3545 SW 34 Street. www.gain-net.org/public/NextEvent.asp
 
Go back to the Boltin on Sunday afternoon for a Contra dance.

Article: The Birds and the Bees
 
When I was about ten my Dad had "the Birds and the Bees" talk with me.
 
He sat me down in the backyard and started.
 
"If you go next door and climb in Cathy Patterson's window," he began.
 
Cathy was the cute girl who lived up the hill, next to us, and was my sister's best friend. Her window was on the second floor and would be impossible to get into without a ladder. Plus there was the difficulty of removing the screen. These were my thoughts then.
 
"And get in Cathy's bed, Mr. Patterson will punch you in the nose," he poured out his wisdom.
 
"Why would I get in Cathy's bed?" I wondered to myself. "It would be cramped and uncomfortable with the two of us in a little bed," was my only thought.
 
"Do you understand what I am telling you?" my Dad asked.
 
"Sure Dad, I understand," I assured him.
 
He seemed satisfied. That was the end of my education on the subject.
 
I cannot think I have heard any better advise about women since then.
