Hello Gainesville Area Israeli Dancers and Friends,
Thanks to Tony Arroyo for running their usual excellent, yearly workshop last weekend. It was a pleasure to see people from all over north Florida and have a chance to learn dances with Dany and Ruthy. See the article for the list of dances that were taught. DVDs, CDs, T-shirts available from Tony. See www.kolsimcha.com
Cubia Semana, which we learned this weekend, is one of the most popular new line dances in the world. Ira Weisburd choreographed it during the summer. Here is Ira's version.

Enjoy music and dancing from Jane Austen's era a la "Pride and Prejudice" and "Emma." The dances are sometimes elegant, sometimes frisky. No fancy costumes, just friendly people and live music by Full Circle. Learn the basic steps at 1:30; dancing begins at 2pm. You don't need to bring a partner--you'll find one there. All dances walked through and called. Bring a snack to share at breaktime. Beginners and spectators welcome.
