Gainesville Ocala Swing and Social Dance Newsletter 2012-11-01
Hello Gainesville Ocala Social Dancers,
For the month of November, park at the Seagle Building. I have paid for us to be able to park there. If you want to know what happened to our former parking area and to voice your opinion, go to www.Grinch.biz.
We could use another guy for the Swing 101 class on Sunday at 308 West from 6 to 7.
Today Thursday:
- Line Dancing with Andy from 11:30 to 12:30 at 308 West.
- Salsa with Diane, beginners at 8, experienced at 9.
- Swing, Hustle and maybe Tango practice with Andy at 8.
Friday Ballroom with Kay at 7 pm and UF Argentine Tango at 8 pm.
Saturday night is Josh's last first of the month West Coast Swing dance at 308 West. Make this into a memorable one.
Sunday:
- Monthly Contra Dance at the Boltin Center at 4.
- Sacred Groove at 308 West from 4 to 6.
- Swing 101 with Andy at 308 West from 6 to 7.
- Swing+ with Andy at 308 West from 7 to 8:15.
- Hustle with Andy at 308 West from 8:15 to 9:30.
Tuesday Argentine Tango 101 with Nick from 6 to 7. Anyone that wants to come out and practice Tango afterwards, we have the big room available on Tuesdays in November.
Ray and Eileen's Ballroom Dance class will be at By Ear Musician starting this Tuesday for now on and also on Thursdays, which this month is Silver Waltz.
Richard teaches East Coast Swing on Tuesdays at the Boltin Center.
Wednesday Judi teaches Texas 2 Step as the first class this month, before teaching West Coast Swing.
Swing, Hustle and Tango dancers and organizers, let me know if you want to dance so we can make plans.
This is the last month for All U Can Dance as it now stands. To justify renting space for December and beyond, we will need commitments from people as to what they want to do. This will be better for everyone, because people will know there will be other people for them to dance with. Sometimes we have a lot of people, sometimes only a few, sometimes a gender balance, sometimes all men and sometimes all women. With commitments, people will know what to expect and can better plan their schedules.
See the calendar for all programs.
Happy Dancing,
Andy

Article: Reform at a Higher Level
My sister worked at a place called Camelot.
This was a last chance home for juveniles before they went to prison.
Of course, all of them had been abused and their behavior was bad, but Camelot gave them a chance to improve.
The logo for Camelot was a round circular shape made out of dots, with a solid line at the bottom left and another solid line at the top right.
Fairly commonly, a kid would freak out and go bezerk. The big guys that worked there, would have to tackle the kid and hold him or her down.
The line at the lower left of the logo symbolized the lower level. To grow, a person had to in a sense, destroy who they were and reform at a higher level.
This is what happened with the kids, when they improved. It was not a gentle, peaceful grade uphill to enlightenment, but an explosive destruction of the old self and a regrouping at a higher level.
So it is with us, after two comfy years at 308 West, we now find ourselves breaking apart, wondering if we will reform at any level. I cannot see the future any better than anyone else. All I can say is, we have to go through the process.
You can improve gradually within a level until you reach the limits of that level.
To reach a new level, you have to destroy who you are and reform at the higher level.
