Ballroom Mamba, Victor Crichton Tango, Five Rhythms, You Learn What You Are Ready For
Published: Fri, 09/23/11
Hello Gainesville Ocala Social Dancers,
This Sunday there is a special program Five Rhythms at 308 West in place of Lindy Swing and Hustle!, which will resume October 2. You can still join me on Monday at 7 pm for Israeli Folk Dancing 101 at B'nai Israel.
These three new classes are coming up for beginners. If you know anyone that wants to start, these are great classes for new dancers.
1. Argentine Tango, October 8-9, pham.andrea@gmail.com
2. Lindy Swing Dancing 101, Sunday October 30, publish@gainesville.com
3. International Folk Dancing 101, Tuesday, November 1, gainesvilleifd@gmail.com
Friday night from 6 to 7 is Kay Picart's Mambo class at 308 West. This is for intermediate to advanced dancers. You do not need to know Mambo, which is similar to Salsa and you do not need a partner. If you are an experienced dancer, take advantage of Kay's wonderful teaching and join this program.
Master of Tango, Victor Crichton comes to Gainesville for a workshop Saturday afternoon at 308 West, with a full weekend of Tango. Friday night is UF Tango. Tango Pavadita hosts a Saturday night milonga and Sunday brunch.
Richard is holding a Night Club Two Step class on Tuesday night at the Boltin Center 6:50 to 9.
UF Swing Club has a new class on Monday nights at the UTC, in addition to their Wednseday and Friday sessions.
Reminder: October 28 is Imperial Dance Studio's 2011 Showcase. Advanced purchase required. 352-375-7763
Tonight, Friday September 23 come out to celebrate Karin Katrina's birthday at the Eagles Club starting at 8 pm, with a live band and dancing. Think this is free. You can bring a snack to share if you like. For more ino contact Will, Tuckerhigh@aol.com or Joyce thompsj@gmail.com.
Happy Dancing,

Article: You Learn What You Are Ready to Learn
When I was in third grade, my Dad gave me a book "How to Think Ahead in Chess". I have read this book many times and told people the book was about what opening you should play.
Having just finished reading the book again, I started rereading it right away. I was looking for how to play the middle game, not the opening, and thought maybe there was something I missed. Here is the first sentence of the book.
"This book has been written to show you what to do after the opening stage has been passed."
Did I miss the whole point of the book? Not exactly. Their solution was to learn one opening for white and two for black so you know what type of middle game you are going to play. I had gotten a lot out of the book, but even after reading it many times, there is a lot I have missed, like the first sentence.
Learning to dance is a lot like that. There is more there than we think. You cannot rush the process. You learn what you are ready to learn. You miss what you are not ready for.
