West Coast Swing Dance, Ballroom, Beginner Swing, Lindy Continues
Published: Fri, 09/30/11
Hello and Gainesville Ocala Social Dancers,
Josh's West Coast Swing dance is this Saturday night at 308 West. Go to this dance and get half off on Sunday Lindy.
Sunday night Lindy Swing (7 to 8:30) and Hustle! (8:30 to 9) is back for 4 weeks on October 2, 9, 23 and 30, continuing with the Lindy Rhythm Turn. This week we will review what we have learned, then connect to 6-Count basic, explore how to signal the 6-Count or 8-Count or longer movements. Anyone with dance experience can attend these sessions. No partner needed. You can come if you missed prior classes.
If you do not have any organized dance experience, you can join us for beginning Swing dancing for new dancers from 6 to 7 on the same Sundays in October at 308 West. If this class turns out to be too slow for you, you can stay for the Lindy Swing class that follows it. This will give you a head start on Lindy Swing Dancing 101, which starts October 30 and is offered through Santa Fe College Community Education.
The more you dance the more you save. These Sunday night programs are $10 general, $5 students. If you go to any organized dancing during the prior week, these Sunday programs are only $5 general and $3 students. If you go to two organized dance sessions, Sunday nights are free.
When you dance more than once a week, you get better a lot faster. You can swing dance with Richard on Tuesdays, Essie on Wednesdays and Judi on Thursdays.
This Sunday is Tango Pavadita's monthly afternoon practice session.
For those brand new to Tango, join Andrea's absolute beginners class October 8-9. pham.andrea@gmail.com
Also next weekend, Saturday and Sunday October 8 and 9, is UF Tango's yearly fundraiser Tango for the Cure Workshop and Milonga benefit with workshops, dancing and brunch.
Sign up for Kay Picart's ballroom classes on Fridays evenings from 6 to 7 on October 21 and 28. This is for people with dance experience, but you do not need to be a ballroom dancer. That is why you go to class. Take advantage of this chance to learn ballroom dancing from Kay. Contact Kay to let her know you are interested. kinaestheticsllc@gmail.com
October 28 is Imperial Dance Studio's 2011 Showcase. Advanced purchase required. 352-375-7763
Happy Dancing,
Andy

Article: You Hear What You Choose to Hear
A friend of mine wrote me an email about her troubles.
I wrote her back:
Sorry
Love, Andy
She was mad, because she thought I did not take her troubles seriously.
So, I wrote her this back to correct the misunderstanding.
Sorry :(
Love, Andy
She said that was not good enough. She said I needed to write this.
Sorry ......... :(
Love, Andy
