Article: You Never Know Where Your Friends Are Going to Come From

It is 4 am and I finished off a carton of ice cream, so I am writing this article.

When I was young, back in 1993, I went to my first Israeli Dance camp, which was at Blue Star in Ashville, North Carolina and the
mother of all Israeli Dance camps, lasting seven days.

I met a women there who was half a generation ahead of me, but seemed a lifetime away. I will call her Esther. She was widowed and
had grown children. She was nice enough, but I did not think much about her, as I ran around doing my own thing.

My community started holding a dance camp in the winters in Ft. Lauderdale. Each year Esther came and she always made a point of
talking with me and getting in a partner set a night. She made friends with another good friend of mine too. She liked to do the
partner sets and she figured she had to line up partners. Not that I felt used.

I saw her around the country a bit at other camps and sessions on some of my travels. In a strange coincidence, it turns out at her
regular group she dances with my second cousin-once-removed. Whenever I see her, she tells me my cousin says hello, which is a sweet
connection.

We always had a good rapport. With some people you find you always have a good conversation.

For no other reason than our times of life, I never would have thought we would have become friends, but this year at Machol Miami,
I found myself hanging out and dancing with her as much as anyone else.

You never know where your friends are going to come from.

2. Saturday 12/19 - English Country Dance with Full Circle

601 South Main Street
Gainesville, Florida

12:30 - 1:00 : English Country Dance beginner lesson
1:00 - 4:00 : English Country Dance

If you've ever seen any of the Jane Austen movies like "Pride and Prejudice" and "Emma", here is your chance to experience firsthand
the music and dance of that era. Each dance is explained and walked through without music first. Then the band plays while the dance
leader calls the steps and everyone dances. You don't need to bring a partner. You can find one there, and it is perfectly
acceptable to dance with the same gender if we have an imbalance.

$5 to dance, FREE to watch/listen

Unified Training Center
809 W University Avenue

8:30 - 12:00 : Argentine Tango dancing

$10 per person

Parking allowed in the Ayers Medical Plaza across 8 Street.

Because of the uncertain future of the Tango y Te milonga at the moment, a group of local tango addicts have decided to give a
holiday gift to the Gainesville tango community by hosting a milonga on December 19 so that we can all dance at least one more time
before the holidays.

We hope that everyone in the Gainesville tango community (and surrounding communities) feels welcome to join us for a nice evening
of fellowship and great dancing.

All of you wannabe tango DJs, feel free to bring your favorite music (mp3 files on a USB drive or CDs preferred). And if you have a
favorite treat, please bring it to share.

Feel free to pass along this message to your friends. Looking forward to seeing you on the 19th.

Ground Hog Day Dance

Richard Nalli's Ground Hog Day Dance last night at the Boltin Center went real well.

The dance was from 8 to 11. The live band was Puzzle and there was a mix of music, mostly swing, with a little waltz, cha cha, salsa and line dances.

There was a nice turnout of about 100 people.

People were friendly and mixed for dancing.

One thing about the live band, you can tell they were not used to playing for dancers, because they played music too fast or too slow. They played fast songs at a tempo of either 140 or more beats per minute, or they played slow songs at under 90 beats a minute. Neither speed is comfortable for dancing. The band should play at 120 beats per minute, with a range of 90 to 140 for comfortable dancing.
