Hello Gainesville Ocala Social Dancers,

Just kidding. Today is my niece's birthday, April 1. The rest is for real, honest.

Some important changes to the schedule, so pay attention.

Start your weekend Friday night with UF Tango at 308 West, who is hosting a visiting group of Tango teachers, dancers and musicians.

Or with UF Swing Club's April Fool's dance at the UTC, or both. They are only 5 blocks apart.

Saturday from 1:30 to 2:30 catch Juliana Azoubel's fantastic Brazilian dance class at 308 West. Juliana is holding another class on Sunday from 12:30 to 1. These classes are something special. Wow, the Brazilians can move!

We have rescheduled the Swinging Soul Dance Party at 308 West to Thursday April 14, to avoid a conflict with Richard's dance. There is no Tango this Saturday night at 308 West either.
www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=178549702187755

So, come out to the Boltin Center on Saturday night for Richard's Mostly Swing Dance. This is sure to be a lot of fun.

Maybe, if you are nice to me, after Richard's party we may move over to 308 West for late night dancing.

After Juliana's Sunday class, stay for Tango Pavadita's practica, an opportunity for beginners to learn in a casual atmosphere.

Or head back to the Boltin Center for a Contra Dance at 4. www.GodsDance.org

Either way, come back to 308 West Sunday night at 7 for Hustle!

Your admission to Hustle, gets you into Israeli Dancing for free on Monday night at B'nai Israel at 7.

Next Wednesday is Josh Angel's First Wednesday of the Month Party with a mystery guest DJ.

The International Hustle and Salsa Conference is in Orlando this weekend. www.HustleAndSalsa.com

Happy Dancing,
Andy

These are sentences exactly as typed by medical secretaries in National Health Service Greater Glasgow

1. The patient has no previous history of suicide.

2. Patient has left her white blood cells at another hospital.

3. Patient's medical history has been remarkably insignificant with only a 40 pound weight gain in the past three days.

4. She has no rigors or shaking chills, but her husband states she was very hot in bed last night.

 

5. Patient has chest pain if she lies on her left side for over a year.

6. On the second day the knee was better and on the third day it disappeared.

7. The patient is tearful and crying constantly. She also appears to be depressed.

8. The patient has been depressed since she began seeing me in 1993.
