Hello Gainesville Ocala Social Dancers,

Start your first full weekend of 2012 with a full weekend of dancing.

Tonight, Friday, Kay Picart teaches Bolero at 308 West from 6:30 to 7:30. Kay taught a Rumba class a couple of weeks ago and since then, some ladies have commented on my hip motion. I will not tell you what they said and I do not know if my hip motion is correct, but at least they are moving. If Kay can get my hips to move in only one class am sure she can help you do much more. Join her wonderful class. All levels welcome.

Saturday is the spectacular Gary Gammage Fundraiser West Coast Swing Workshop and Dance with Sabrina Paxmann hosted by Josh Angel. Private lessons are available with Sabrina. In the afternoon are two workshops, Cha Cha and West Coast Swing from 3 to 5:30. At 7:30 is the dance. Much of the proceeds go to support our dance community's beloved Judi and Gary Gammage.

Finish your weekend and start your week on Sunday evening, the fun way, with Swing and Hustle! Come out to 308 West from 6 to 7 pm for beginning swing, 7 to 8:30 for more experienced and 8:30 to 9:30 hustle. No partner needed. No experience needed.
