Israeli and English Dancing Tonight, Contra Next Week, Ballroom Dance Practice, IndepenDance

Published: Mon, 06/27/11

Gainesville Ocala Israeli and Folk Dance Newsletter

Hello and Gainesville Ocala Israeli and Folk Dancers,

Tonight is the fourth and last night of the 4-Week Beginner Israeli Dancing run through Santa Fe College. If you missed prior weeks you can still join us. We will continue Israeli Dancing at the same times after this series ends.

Also on Monday nights is English Country Dancing at 308 West. This is an easy dance that everyone can do, with a live band and nice people.

There is Line Dancing on Tuesday nights at the Eagles with Sheila Ebert.

On Fridays join the International Folk Dancers. Early in the evening they do easy dances that anyone can keep up with.

The next two Fridays, July 1 and 8, for only $5, we will be having ballroom dance practice at 308 West from 6:30 to 8. This will be mainly Waltz, probably some Cha Cha and possibly some other dances to give us a chance to practice what Kay Picart taught. You can come even if you did not attend Kay's classes. Kay will be resuming on July 15 with Foxtrot and July 22 with Rumba.

Starting July 2, with IndepenDance, Josh Angel will be hosting the first Saturday Night of the month dance, which will now be primarily West Coast Swing.

Lindy Swing and Hustle! resume Sunday July 3 at 7 pm. Newcomers welcome. If you come on Sunday, Monday Israeli Dancing is free.

Happy Dancing,
Andy
