Hello Gainesville Area Dancers and Friends,
There are two special events this Sunday, Tango for Haiti a fundraiser at Hillel and an English Country dance. Make sure you make one or both of these.
Tango Encanto meets this Friday. I believe it starts between 8 and 9pm. Contact Tango Encanto for exact time.
Happy Dancing,
Andy
