Published: Fri, 06/10/11

Gainesville Ocala Swing and Social Dance Newsletter

Hello and Gainesville Ocala Social Dancers,

Lots of dancing this weekend. You can go two or three times or more Friday through Sunday most within walking distance. Here is your recommended schedule.

Start with Kay Picart's second Cha Cha skills class tonight, Friday, at 308 West. The following two Fridays Kay is teaching Waltz.

After Kay's class, make it a night of dancing with Swing and Sway nearby at the Boltin Center.

Or stay at 308 West for UF Tango then stop by the Reitz Union and hook up with the UF Swing club.

Saturday afternoon join Tango Pavadita for practice from 1 to 5 and come back at 7:30 for dancing until midnight.

Or, if you did not get enough ballroom dancing Friday, join Imperial Dance Studio for their monthly Ballroom Dance on Saturday night.

Sunday join us for three sessions starting at 6 with Social Dancing for People with Two Left Feet. You can come even if you missed the first week. Come from 7 to 8:30 for Lindy and stay afterwards for Hustle!

Monday join our Beginner Israeli Folk Dancing at B'nai Israel at 7.

For dancing during the week, go out to Richard's East Coast Swing class on Tuesday night at 7 at the Boltin Center.

See the schedule for more dancing and details.

Dance Quotes:

- So you are ashamed to see me, hey? Well, I have not changed. Ciao, have a nice day. ~ Celedonio Esteban Flores, 1896-1947, poet of tango

- Three basic hopes all turned and fled
   two tinted white, one tinted red
   Vanquished by time, first was mother,
   second were people, third was a lover
   Three hopes sustained me
   But two turned to lies
   And Ma went and died!

~ Enrique Santos Discepolo, 1901 - 1951, poet of tango
