Hello Gainesville Ocala Israeli and Folk Dancers,

Hustle! is here.

Hustle! starts tonight Sunday at 7:00 at 308 West.

There is dancing every night this week.

Israeli Dancing starts a little late this week around 7:15, because Howard needs a yahrzeit minyan at 7. I will open the room before 7 so you can come in.

English Country Dancing is on Monday.

Tuesday Sandi Larkins is having a post Valentine's Day Line Dance party at the Eagles Club.

Thursday Anahata Iradah is at Dances of Universal Peace. According to the announcement, she is "a versatile and gifted musician and teacher, a composer, songwriter, mediator and documentary film producer. She is an accomplished leader of the Dances of Universal Peace with years of dedication in Sacred & Ceremonial Music & Dance. She brings depth, humor, sensitivity, exuberance & magic to the experience"

Saturday night is a Contra Dance with Deux Francois and Ron Buchanan. There were 100 people at the last one.

Next Sunday February 20, after the Contra Dance, is a special event, the return of the popular Vintage Waltz Brunch. Randy and Annette will be teaching Vintage Waltz. I will be teaching a Nordic Waltz mixer I learned in Chicago over the summer from a visiting Swedish dance group.

Happy Dancing,
Andy
