1. Monday 11/22 - New Introduction to Israeli Partner Dancing

Congregation B'nai Israel, 3830 NW 16 Blvd, Gainesville, FL

7:00 - 8:00 : For Beginners

8:00 - 9:00 : For More Experienced Dancers

Starts exactly on time. Do not be late.

Contact Andrew, publish@israelipartnerdancing.com, 352-327-3672

On Monday nights, beginning November 22 to December 27, for, a minimum of 4 and up to 6 nights.

Everyone welcome. No experience and no partner needed.

Treat yourself to some fun doing Israeli Partner Dances. You deserve it.

The first hour is for beginner's. You do not need to know how to dance. You will learn. Everyone can learn Israeli Partner Dancing.

Easy, exuberant, great music, great friends, come out for a great time.

On Monday nights, beginning November 22 to December 27, for, a minimum of 4 and up to 6 nights.

We rotate partners and do dances more than once, so everyone gets to do every dance, everyone gets to dance the same amount and everyone gets to dance with everyone else. If you come with your spouse and you do not want to rotate, you do not have to. Rotating is your option.

Teaching is based on my book Partnership Dancing(tm).

Rather than memorizing choreography, the women will learn the skill of how to follow every Israeli Partner Dance without learning the steps. This is a good skill to have and is applicable to all social dances, particularly choreographed dances. You will be able to follow other folk dances, including things like Contra Dancing, without having to worry about the patterns.

The men will learn how to make every dance a pleasure by communicating via their body language. You will learn how to get the woman to do what you want by manipulating space, without wrestling the woman around.

There is no gender bias. You can dance which ever part you want.

We will be videoing some of the teaching.
