Hello Gainesville Ocala Social Dancers,

 

Lots of changes for May, so read on.

 

First my programs:

 

1. Private Practice for any kind of dancing - if anyone, any couple or small groups want to have private practice or private lessons at very reasonable rates, let me know.

 

2. Sunday evening dancing - am thinking about organizing Swing and Hustle dancing on Sunday evenings. If you are interested, let me know.

 

3. Super Simple Swing 101 and Beginning West Coast Swing meet tonight for week 4 of 6. We do need extra leaders for WCS from 7 to 8:30 at Gainesville High School. See below for

 

4. Israeli Dancing is on Monday nights from 7 to 8:30 at B'nai Israel, 3830 NW 16 Blvd, $8 per family if paid by the month, $10 drop in

 

5. Line Dancing at the Senior Center with beginners at 11:30 and intermediate at 12:30. Let me know if you would like to sign up for another series of line dancing starting next week.

 

There are some new schedules for May.

 

On Thursdays Ray and Eileen are teaching Paso Doble at By Ear Musician. Bob Rogers is teaching East Coast Swing at the Boltin Center.

 

On Tuesdays Bob Rogers is teaching Hustle at the Boltin Center.
