Beach Blanket Swing Dance, Contra Dance, Waltz Brunch, Swing and Sway

Gainesville Ocala Swing and Social Dance Newsletter 2013-07-19
 
Hello Gainesville Ocala Social Dancers,
 
Five dances this weekend.
 
Saturday night is Chad's Beach Blanket Bash Mixed Swing Dance. Chad only does these a few times a year, so enjoy one while you have the chance. Starts at 7 pm at The Movement, 1212 N Main Street with an hour lesson in Carolina Shag with Ray Parris. $15 with lesson, $10 afterwards.
 
Also Saturday night is the monthly Contra dance at the Boltin Center and Argentine Tango Milonga with David and Thuy.
 
For the first time in a few months, Vintage Waltz Brunch returns on Sunday morning at 10:30 am at The Movement, 1212 N Main. If you do not know how to waltz, there will be plenty of people there that will be happy to show you how.
 
Sunday afternoon is a Swing and Sway Tea dance at the Senior Center from 3 to 5.
 
See the schedule for the regular weekly dance sessions.
 
Coming up next month, Richard will be teaching East Coast Swing on Tuesday nights at the Boltin Center from 7 to 9 pm.
 
Beginning Thursday, September 12, I will be running two Swing dance sessions at Gainesville High School via Santa Fe College Community Education. Super Simple Swing 101 for novice dancers will run from 6 to 7 pm. If you know anyone who says they have two left feet, this is the class for them. We have the room for another hour and a half. So, afterwards, from about 7 to 8:30 pm, we will have Swing class and dancing for all levels of experience. If you have any Swing dance experience, come out to learn and enjoy West Coast, East Coast, Lindy and whatever kind of swing you want to do, with a wide variety of great music from the 1920s until today.
 
Happy Dancing,
Andy

English Country Dance on Monday and library program Wednesday

 
Dear Dancers,

Yes we will have our regular dance on Monday, as usual.  This week we will run through dances which we will do at the library and repeat a couple of favorites from last week. 

Everyone is welcome and encouraged to participate in Wednesday's library program (details below).  Come and encourage others to dance and show them the joy (smiling while making mistakes!) of dance and the social appeal.  I have a sign-up sheet so that I can remind people and we have some idea of how many dancers to expect.  You may dress as you do on Mondays; Randy and I may wear our Regency outfits to show the style of dress for that period.  Several of Hoggetowne Fancy have volunteered to play for this program. 

There will be two demonstration dances.  Each will be taught with one walk through during the program.  And we will also do each of these on Monday evening so that you will be somewhat familiar. We do not expect perfection or memorization. We want to show what a regular dance is like.   We want your usual smiles and pleasure to show above all else.  We have more dances planned than we will do on Wednesday so that we can be flexible enough to accommodate whoever shows up. 

invite friends. 

One dance we have planned is a two couple, called Rufty Tufty, from the original Playford book of 1651.  Many historical dances are of this form--a USA dance.  Notice in the video that there is an Up part (lead towards the other couple), Siding, and Arming.  In between each piece is the chorus 0:23 (set, turn single, repeat, lead out with partner, come back, 0:35 cloverleaf (think of the old interstate interchange), lead out with neighbor, come back, cloverleaf), Siding right, then left, Chorus, Arming right, then left, chorus.  Watch their eye contact between two leads toward other couple, during the cloverleafs, and siding. 

http://vimeo.com/2060659

And one of the historical three-couple dances planned is Trip to Tunbridge (1793).  Watch the top set--their timing is good.  Watch the second set--you all will be much better. 

http://dancevideos.childgrove.org/ecd/playford/248-trip-totunbridge

Notice after the right hand turns, the active couple in the middle pass right to lead their lines out--that is the hardest part!!  Anticipate. 

Dances done last week were:

The Bashful Swain (LW, ones set and cast down; ones set and cast up)

Vivaldi in Paradise (LW, pass neighbor right, gypsy next left, gypsy neighbor right)

Key to the Cellar (Triple Mnr; actives gate up into heys across)

Black Nag (3 cpl; long corners change—point right shoulders, gallop passing back to back to the other's place) R

Elizabeth (LW waltz; open ladies chain)

Lover's Knot (Lw, double mad robbin shuttle; very contraish) R

Heidenroslein (4 cpl square, Slide past current partner, women in front; honor this partner)

Karen's Caprice (LW, moving 2-hand turn with partner to one one place clockwise)


Future Planning  Now is the time to put these dates on your calendar:

July 17, Wednesday, 6:30 - 8:30 pm, Gainesville downtown library.  Come and help demonstrate the dances as we do them on Monday evenings.  You'll get a "get-in-free" card as our thank you.  We will have a demonstration or two and then do some simple dances to invite the audience to participate. All of our dancers would be a welcome part of this event.  Please share your experience and help to bring others into this wonderful dance world. 

September, 27 - 29 Fandango in Atlanta!  There will be lots of us going.

October 18 - 20,  Sharpes Assembly, Sebring Florida.  Stay and dance at the Historical Kenilworth Lodge.  There will be even more of us going.

For more information about these and other events see Don Pauley's website:  http://dancefl.us/ecd/index.php


If you'd like to review some of the vocabulary, here is a link for some English dance terms: Join us any (and every!!) Monday evening. Learn the interesting movements and patterns of English Country Dance set to beautiful live music by Hoggetowne Fancy. We are very fortunate to have musicians who play for us. Not very many weekly dance groups can enjoy dancing to live music. If you choose to watch instead of dance please feel free to let people know. We want you to be comfortable to do whatever you choose. But people will ask you so that everyone feels included and not left out.


Everyone is welcome. All dances are taught, walked through, and called. No experience, partner, or special dress is necessary. Randy Thorp is the caller. His aim is for everyone to have fun. He has dancers mark on a chart which dances they enjoy, so that he can plan each dance week with a program that our group will enjoy. Newcomers are welcome---come at 6:45 for the lesson.


Do you have a parent who might enjoy watching the dancers and listening to the music? Bring them for free.


At United Church of Gainesville (UCG)

1624 Northwest 5th Avenue

Cost $5 (after February for UCG dancers)+ donation for the musicians (their only compensation)
Lesson 6:45; Dancing 7 - 9:30

Bring a snack to share
Bring a water bottle or cup for the earth!
