Gainesville Ocala Swing and Social Dance Newsletter

Hello and Gainesville Ocala Social Dancers,

You can Swing Dance 5 of the next 7 nights.

Tonight Wednesday from 8 to 10 pm Cathy Jean will be substituting for Essie in the West Coast Swing class at 308 West.

UF Swing Club has their last night of summer on Friday at the Reitz Union.

Not sure yet if UF Tango will be at 308 West on Friday night. Check before you go.

Saturday Professional Sabrina Paxmann from New York is holding a West Coast Swing workshop from 3 to 5:30 with a dance from 7:30 until midnight.

Sunday from 2 to 5 is Argentine Tango practice at 308 West with Sarah and Steve.

Sunday from 4 to 7 Jonathan King is calling the Contra Dance at the Boltin Center and debuting Ruth King's new dance.

Our Swing and Hustle! resumes Sunday, with a slight change to the schedule. Swing will go from 6:30 to 8:30, with the first half hour being Swing Dance exercise, followed by Swing lessons and dancing. From 8:30 to 9:15 we will be doing Hustle.

If you go on Sunday night to Swing, you can come to my Israeli Dance session on Monday for free at B'nai Israle from 7 to 9.

Tuesdays Richard is doing East Coast Swing at the Boltin Center.

A week from this Friday on August 12 Kay Picart is teaching Ballroom Samba.
