Hello Gainesville Ocala Israeli and Folk Dancers,
Israeli folk dancing tonight, with beginners from 7 to 8 and intermediate from 8 to 9. Everyone welcome. Only $5 per family.
Next weekend is a Contra Dance on Saturday night and a Vintage Waltz Brunch on Sunday morning. Both excellent events for newer dancers, being casual and sociable.
No Lindy Swing dancing next Sunday. Instead, join professional Danielle Blouin's West Coast Swing workshop. Lindy Swing continues the following Sunday.
Make plans to attend Ira Weisburd's workshop at our session on Monday October 31.
International Folk Dancing 101 starts Tuesday 11/4. Lindy Swing Dancing 101 starts Sunday 10/30. Registration for both opens October 12 via Fall B Santa Fe College Community Education.
Happy Dancing,
Andy
