Hello Gainesville Ocala Social Dancers,
You have lots of good choices for dancing on this New Years weekend.
Friday night come out for a Zydeco lesson at 308 West at 7 pm followed by Pre-New Years Eve Party with swing, cha cha, waltz, blues and other social dancing. This is kicking off a Countdown to Mardi Gras series, where you will be able to do Zydeco once a week.
Saturday night you can start with a mega, marathan Contra dance with 3 live bands from 4 to midnight at the enormous Martin Luther King Center on Waldo Road and about NE 14 Avenue. Bands are Comes When called, Wind that Shakes the Barley and Flying Turtles. Bring snacks to share. Cost is $20, $10 for students and under 21. For those arriving after 9 pm, the cost is $10 and $5.
From 7:30 to 9:30 get in touch with the universe with Dances of Universal Peace at the United Chuch of Gainesville, a spiritual way to start your new year. Only $10.
In the evening join Swing and Sway for their New Years Eve Ballroom dance at the Boltin Center. $20.
Or join Tango Pavadita for their most elegant New Years Eve Milonga at 308 West with a special Candombe lesson from 8 to 9. Only $10.
There is no Contra dance on Sunday.
Sunday come out to 308 West for Swing and Hustle! From 6 to 7 pm for beginning swing, 7 to 8:30 for more experienced and 8:30 to 9:30 Hustle! Pay for any organized dancing anywhere else during the prior week and Sunday night is only $5. Come on Sunday and Israeli is free on Monday.
