Hello Gainesville Ocala Israeli and Folk Dancers,

There is a Contra Dance this Saturday night.

Monday night is a free English Country dance, instead of the normal Thursday night. This kind of dancing is easy and a lot of fun. Some of the dances are from the 1600s.

Line dancing is on Tuesday and Wednesday with Sandi Larkin.

Free beginning Clogging classes coming up September 19 to October 3 with Kelli McChesney. She only does this once a year, so take advantage of this opportunity.

JNet's next event is September 2 with Gator Basketball Coach Larry Shyatt.

Happy Dancing,
Andy
