Hello Gainesville Ocala Social Dancers,

Saturday night is a Tango Milonga at 308 West.

Also Saturday night is a Contra Dance, followed on Sunday morning by the first Vintage Waltz brunch in a while, with Randy and Annette teaching. I will lead a Nordic Waltz mixer that I picked up in Chicago this summer from a visiting Swedish dance group. That is a mouthful. See the Gainesville Ocala folk dance newsletter for details.

Hustle! is this Sunday February 20. It really is fun. Join us.

Next Thursday Christian is teaching Balboa at 308 West. This is regularly scheduled on the fourth Thursday of the month.

Reserve the First Saturday Night of the Month for our Swinging Soul Dance Party. The next one is March 5.

Ballroom Dancing at GHFC with Caroline Picart is March 18 to April 15 on Friday nights at 7:30. www.ghfc.com

The #1 Gators last home gymnastics meet is tonight Friday 2/18 at 7pm. Let me know if you want to join me.

For something different, after the meet, Sabore in the Tioga Town Center is having Disco dancing starting at 10:30 and Saturday night too. No cover.

Joan Frosch's theatre and dance program "2280 Pints" is at the UF Nadine McGuire Pavillion February 18-27.

Jack Lalanne 10 Point Self Improvement Plan.

Do not let cost keep you away from dancing. We have plenty of things for you to do if you would like to volunteer your time.

Happy Dancing,
Andy
