Israeli Dancing Tonight, Special Ballroom and Tango

Andrew Weitzen posted on June 20, 2011 11:00

Hello Gainesville Ocala Israeli and Folk Dancers,

Tonight is the last night of the 4-Week Beginner Israeli Dancing run through Santa Fe College. If you missed prior weeks you can still join us. We of course well continue to dance on Monday nights when this series ends.

If Israeli Dancing is too much running around for you, try English Country Dancing on Monday at 308 West.

Sandi is no longer running Line Dancing on Tuesday nights at the Eagles, so come to Israeli or English on Mondays. If you can Line Dance, you can Israeli Dance. If Fridays are better for you, join the International Folk Dancers.

Andrea Pham is starting a new 6-Week Beginning Argentine Tango series this Wednesday. If you have ever had an interest in Argentine Tango, this is the best time to start, with a group of others at the same level as you. pham.andrea@gmail.com

Caroline Picart is teaching intermediate to advanced ballroom dancing on some Friday nights at 308 West. If you know how to dance and want to improve your technique, Ky can help you get that ballroom dancing look. Kay is a real professional and US Open Champion who will give you individual feedback in a group class. cjpicart@gmail.com

No Lindy Swing next Sunday. Next weekend there is a Tango workshop on Saturday and a West Coast Swing workshop on Sunday with visiting guest instructors. Check the social dance newsletter for details.

Happy Dancing,
Andy
