Tonight Balboa, Need Chairs, Waltz, Tango and West Coast Swing Workshops, No Lindy
Published: Thu, 06/23/11
Hello and Gainesville Ocala Social Dancers,
The next few days are loaded with high quality dancing, starting tonight Thursday with Christian's growing Balboa class. Balbao is kind of like the Tango of Swing.
Friday night Kay's excellent Ballroom Waltz class continues. You can still come even if you missed the first week, but you do need to know how to dance.
After Kay's class, from 7:30 to 8:00, everyone is invited for a free half hour of ballroom style waltz.
Afterwards join the UF Tango Club at 308 West for the rest of Friday night.
This is a regional Tango weekend with guests expected from all over North Florida. Saturday afternoon Frederico and Victoria from Tampa are teaching an Argentine Tango Workshop and Saturday night is Tango Pavadita's milonga. Sunday morning Victoria will hold a Tango Flex session followed by Tango Pavadita brunch.
After the Tango brunch on Sunday, the talented Patti Jobst is visiting us to teach a West Coast Swing Workshop, followed by a West Coast Swing Dance hosted by Josh Angel.
There will be no Lindy and Hustle this Sunday. They will resume Sunday 7/03.
If you were in the Two Left Feet class or would like to learn to Swing dance, join our Slow Lindy Swing class on Sundays at 7 resuming in July.
Join Richard for East Coast Swing on Tuesday nights at 7 at the Boltin Center.
Join Andrea Pham for a new beginner series for Argentine Tango. pham.andrea@gmail.com
Mimi Santapa from Argentina will be in Tallahasee July 1-3 and in Gainesville on July 9. She is available for private lessons and group workshops in Tango. Contact Gordon to find out the details. gerlebacher@fsu.edu
Happy Dancing,
Andy
