The next two Fridays Kay Picart is holding ballroom classes at 308 West from 6:30 to 7:30, July 15 is Foxtrot and July 22 is Rumba.

English Country Dancing is tonight at 308 West. Coming up this Saturday is an English Country Dance Festival with Veronica and Ted Lane's ECD band and Pam Russo calling, from 2-5 pm.

After ECD, get something to eat downtown Gainesville and walk over to the Boltin Center for Contra Dancing to finish up your Saturday evening.

Find a park bench to sleep on and walk back to 308 West on Sunday morning for the Vintage Waltz Brunch.

Come back to 308 West Sunday evening for Lindy Swing and Hustle!, with dance practice drills at 6:30, Lindy Swing at 7 and from 8 to 9 is Hustle!. If you come to any program at 308 West the week before Sunday evening is only $5. If you come on Sunday evening, Israeli dancing on Monday is free. The more you dance, the more you save.
