Israel Independence Day dancing, Sacred Groove, No Hustle, Ballroom, Tango, Swing
Published: Fri, 04/27/12
Hello and Gainesville Ocala Social Dancers,
Sunday come out and give me a hand, and two feet, at the Israel Independence Day, Yom Hatzmaot celebration where I will be leading simple folk dances that anyone can do. No experience needed. Dress is comfortable, casual. Should be a fun time and your support will be appreciated. There will be an excellent, live Klezmer band, the Klezmer Katz. We will do a few dances during each of their sets, starting around 12:30 and ending around 3:30. The event is free. You can buy lunch there. At UF Hillel, 2020 W University Avenue. Park across the street at the O'Connell Center parking lot.
Friday night is Swing and Sway, UF Swing Club and UF Tango Club.
Saturday Tango Pavadita hosts an Argentine Tango milonga and Ray and Eileen host a Ballroom dance.
Sunday you can still join us for Contra Dancing 101 from 5 to 6 at 308 West and then Swing 101 from 6 to 7. We will not be having Swing and Hustle afterwards this week.
Instead, on Sunday come out for Sacred Groove Meditative Dance at 7 at 308 West.
Monday is Samba, English Country and Israeli dancing.
Tuesday is Argentine Tango with Nick and Elke, Ballroom with Ray and Eileen and Richard will be teaching Waltz and Foxtrot this month.
Essie had her last class last Wednesday. We will miss her. Judi will not start her Wednesday class until June. For the month of May, we will play West Coast Swing music on Wednesday nights so you come out and dance and practice. There will be no teaching, just music for dancing. Times will vary, so check each week. This week, Wednesday May 2 dancing will go from 8 to 10. The cost will remain the same as Essie's class, which is $6 general, $4 students.
Thursdays Judi teaches West Coast Swing and Ray teaches Bolero this month.
