No Israeli Dancing, Free Klogging, Brazilian Dance, Balboa, Slow Lindy, English, Contra
Published: Mon, 04/25/11
Hello and Gainesville Ocala Israeli and Folk Dancers,
See below for details of four new upcoming series of beginning dance classes specifically for newcomers to get started dancing. Let your friends know about Clogging, Lindy swing, beginning Israeli and Dancing for People with Two Left Feet.
No Israeli Dancing today, Monday April 25 due to Passover. Israeli dancing starts again next Monday May 2. For Israeli Dancing, go to Kol Simcha on Wednesday.
For Monday night dancing, go to English Country Dancing tonight at 308 West.
Brazilian Samba and Street Dance is Wednesday nights from 7 to 8 at 308 West. Come this Saturday for a special guest instructor from 1 to 2.
Try Christian's monthly Balboa class for something different, this Thursday night at 308 West at 8:00.
Sunday May 1 is a Contra dance at the Boltin Center, sociable and easy enough for new dancers. Afterwards come over to the Lindy Hop class (see below) for half price for those attending the Contra dance.
Free introductory Klogging Klasses with Kelli's First Klass Kloggers for 4 Sundays May 1, 8, 15 and 22 from 4 to 5. No dance experience and no special shoes needed. Although, if you are anywhere near me, you better wear steel-toed boots. Fun for all ages. Best deal in town with a real pro.
Afterwards get something to eat and come over to beginning Lindy Swing classes at 7 at 308 West. This new series starts Sunday May 1. Lindy is the first, most versatile, most innocent and most fun of swing dances. This series will be to music on the slower side. Expand your repetoire so you can dance to any swing music.
In June, you have available two new classes for new dancers offered through Santa Fe College Community Educaton.
1. Beginning Israeli Dancing - dance to a higher purpose. Four Mondays in June from 7 to 8 at B'nai Israel. Suitable for people who have never danced before. A great way to start dancing.
2. Social Dancing for People with Two Left Feet - for people with a fear of dancing. Three Sunday nights starting June 5 from 6 to 7 at 308 West. Guaranteed to be comfortable for anyone that can walk.
Singers can try out for the Glee of Gainesville via Jessica at soundlovve@gmail.com
