Hello Gainesville Ocala Area Dancers and Friends,
Three special dances to be aware of:
1. Saturday night at the Boltin Center, Swing and Social Dance with Richard Nalli.
2. Sunday afternoon Contra Dance also at the Boltin Center.
3. Wednesday evening West Coast Swing Dance at the Eagles Club with Josh and Bri.
Came into some money last week (crinkled in a pants pocket from the wash), so I am planning to splurge and be at all of them, if that makes a difference to anyone one way or the other.
UF Swing Club is on break.
Only 6 hours from here is a spectacular event in Miami this weekend, with Hustle, Salsa and West Coast Swing. The Hustle World Championships and the qualifier for the Salsa World Championships are held over the weekend. The dancing is astonishing, whether on the floor or the air acrobatics. Their Saturday night show is world class. If you can make any night for the competitions or performance, it is worth it. The daytime classes are with the evening's performers, so you get instruction from the best. www.hustleandsalsa.com
At the end of May in nearby St. Petersburg is a wonderful event Swing Dance USA, after a two-year hiatus, with daytime classes and night time dances. This is the magic of the Swing era, no East and no West Coast Swing, pure Lindy hop, Bal-Swing, Jitterburg, Jazz, Blues. The price is inexpensive and contact Richard Nalli for a 10% discount. www.SwingDanceUSA.com
Happy Dancing,
Andy
