This is a great weekend for dancing. Both UF Swing and UF Tango clubs are in session downtown on Friday night only a short walk of 5 blocks apart.

While you are downtown, catch the last free Friday concert of the year at the Bo Diddley Plaza with Brazil, African and world folk music and performances.
www.gvlculturalaffairs.org/website/programs_events/plaza_series/plaza.html

Saturday night enjoy the Argentine Tango milonga at 308 West or the Contra dance at the Boltin Center.

Sunday morning come out to 308 West for the monthly Vintage Waltz brunch.

After brunch, you have time for a short break and then back to 308 West for the spectacular Danielle Blouin West Coast Swing workshop and dance party.

Lindy Swing and Hustle! will resume at 308 West on Sunday October 23.

Monday night join my Israeli Folk Dancing session at 7 pm at B'nai Israel for only $5. This is the most exuberant dancing.

This Wednesday night is Josh's 3rd Wednesday West Coast Swing and this month Jim Jean Birthday Dance at 308 West.

Remember to let Kay Picart know whether you can attend her intermediate to advanced ballroom classes on Fridays October 21 and 28 from 6 to 7. This is suitable for any one beyond a beginning dancer, even if you are new to ballroom dancing. kinaestheticsllc@gmail.com

Get your tickets to Imperial Dance Studio's yearly showcase on October 28. You must by tickets in advance. imperialdancestudio@hotmail.com

On October 31 join us for internationally renowed professional Israeli, international and line dance choreographer and instructor Ira Weisburd's Israeli Folk Dance Workshop. Everyone with any dance experience can participate in this exciting evening. Ira will be teaching and you will be able to follow along even if you have never folk danced before. You will have a great time. Ira is just returning from tours of East Asia and the United States.
