Hello Gainesville Ocala Social Dancers,
This newsletter is out one day early to let you know of Christian's Free Swing and Soul Dance at 308 West tonight, Thursday January 27 in honor of his 10th anniversary of dancing.
308 West is in the old Firestone Building located immediately to the east of the Seagle Building on University Avenue. We are upstairs. You can park in the Seagle Building lot for $2 per night. Get a parking permit from us when you come inside. You can park underneath or on 3rd street for free.
UF Swing and Tango Clubs are in session on Friday.
Saturday night you have two great dances to choose from, Richard's Swing and Social Dance at the Boltin Center and Tango Pavadita Milonga at 308 West.
This Sunday evening, January 30 is another one-time only class in Salsa for Swing Dancers. I thought I was going out of town, but I will be here. We had so much fun last week, we are doing Salsa again this week.
Next Tuesday, Barbie teaches Basic Two-Step at Richard's class at the Boltin Center.
At 308 West, most Saturday nights we will be having Tango, but on the first Saturday of each month we will be having a special Swinging Soul Saturday Night Dance Party beginning February 5.
For the most fun of all dances come out and Hustle! on Sunday evenings starting February 6, beginners class.

1. Thursday 1/27 - 10-Years of Swing Dancing Party
Gainesville Dance Association, 308 W University Avenue
9:00 - Midnight : Swing dancing
Free
Come celebrate with me my first ten years as a swing dancer. This means more to me than a birthday! And, of course, this calls for a dance!
I count my swing dancing career from the 27 January 2001 Student Honors Organization dance at Norman Gym. That's the night I saw how fun swing dancing could be and committed to regularly attending the Florida Swing Dancing Club until I learned to have fun like that. Little did I know the impact to be had on my life.
Thank-you to everyone who has touched my life over the past decade, especially all my dance teachers and the countless encouragers. I remember you fondly and keep passing your gifts on.
If you'd like, share something to eat or a non-alcoholic drink. Bring anyone you wish ...this would be a fun night to introduce a friend to swing dancing! =-D
