Swing Dance Party Next Thursday, Ballroom Dance Saturday, Tango 101 a Week Away

Andrew Weitzen posted on April 07, 2011 17:34

Hello Gainesville Ocala Social Dancers,

This weekend is dancing as usual, plus Maria Alvarez' monthly ballroom dance on Saturday night and a Contra dance at the Reitz Union on Sunday at 4 pm.

Friday UF Tango is at 308 West. When that ends at 11, make the short 5 block walk to the UTC and get in an hour with the UF Swing Club.

Saturday night Argentine Tango Pavadito holds their milonga at 308 West.

On Sunday, come back to 308 West for Hustle at 7.

The Swinging Soul Dance Party at 308 West is coming up Thursday April 14, with a short lesson on the Rhythm Turn. Go to Judi's West Coast Swing class at Imperial Dance Studio and come by afterwards to put what you learn into practise.

Tuesdays this month, Richard is hosting Waltz classes at the Boltin Center.

A week from Saturday, on April 16 starts Argentine Tango 101, the fastest to get you out there.

Happy Dancing,
Andy
