Hello Gainesville Ocala Israeli and Folk Dancers,
This newsletter is out early to remind you of a few events: Saturday night is a Contra Dance and Sunday morning is the first Vintage Waltz Brunch in a while, with Randy and Annette teaching. I will be leading a Nordic Waltz mixer.
And tonight, Thursday Anahata Iradah is at Dances of Universal Peace. According to the announcement, she is "a versatile and gifted musician and teacher, a composer, songwriter, mediator and documentary film producer. She is an accomplished leader of the Dances of Universal Peace with years of dedication in Sacred & Ceremonial Music & Dance. She brings depth, humor, sensitivity, exuberance & magic to the experience"
Join us at Hustle! on Sunday night at 7:00 at 308 West.
Israeli Dancing is back to the regular time 7:00 on Monday.
English Country Dancing is on Monday at 308 West. They had a big turnout of 20 people this week.
Save the First Saturday Night of the Month for our Swinging Soul Dance Party coming up next on March 5.
Do not let the cost keep you away from dancing. We have plenty of things for you to do if you would like to volunteer your time.
Happy Dancing,
Andy

Article: Make Mistakes with a Lot of Confidence
First relax, and be able to absorb things, and be able to do it without any fear that maybe you will make mistakes.
Since my job, my duty is to encourage the dancers and not to discourage them, I'm trying to give them an idiom by telling them, "Don't worry about the mistakes. Make mistakes with a lot of confidence."
Don't hesitate, because when you are hesitating then all your body is freezing and you are afraid to move, because you are afraid to make mistakes. You can't move this way when your mind is just thinking about the mistakes that you might do.
The dance needs relaxation and not a tight body. I'm giving them an idea: don't worry.
Sometimes students want to impress the teacher and I don't think that this is something good. They don't want to disappoint the teacher, or disappoint themselves.
We are human beings and we make mistakes. I used to use a phrase that said: perfection is a value of God; but the ambition to be perfect is the value of mankind.
We are trying to achieve the best we can. But, when we make mistakes from time to time, it gives us a message that there is no space for another God.
