Contra 101, Swing 101 and Tango Beginners Come On Out
Published: Fri, 04/13/12
Hello and Gainesville Ocala Social Dancers,
Anyone who has taken Contra 101 (5 to 6 pm) or Swing 101 (6 to 7 pm), come out Sunday to 308 West. New classes started last week, which you can join. These are beginning classes, suitable for both new dancers and people who have taken this series. This series will both review and progress from where the last series left off. If you find Swing 101 too easy, you can stay and at 7:30 join the more experienced Swing and at 8:30 join Hustle! One price of $10 for the entire evening. $5 full time students.
We are bringing back the Frequent Dancer Rewards for the rest of April.
