Andrew Weitzen posted on December 29, 2010 13:45

Hello Gainesville Ocala Social Dancers,

If you need to dance New Years Eve, check out the Dances of Universal Peace.

There are also some great New Years Eve Swing dancing nearby in Orlando and Tampa Bay, to which some Gainesville dancers are going.

If you are a Tango dancer and need somewhere to go on New Years Eve, contact me.

Welcome back to Richard. East Coast Swing classes start Tuesday January 4.

Wednesday January 5 is Josh's first of the year West Coast Swing dance.

Another New Years Eve alternative is downtown Gainesville, with a live band, and it is free.
