Fri 3 Jun 2022, 7-8 pm. I am excited about teaching belly dance again. This is a technique-oriented class that will be basic enough for all levels to get something out of it. Targeting balance, technique, sharpening hip movements, introducing new movements and combinations, working on posture. Including a short choreography on each class and adding improvisation as practice for fluidity and individual creativity purposes.

8 pm Dancing
Shine up your saddle shoes and get ready to jump jive n’ wail with Becky Sinn and Swing Theory. Join us in the NOMA Black Box at the Reilly Arts Center for a celebration of Ocala history. The Jumpin’ June Swing Dance Social is a tribute to days gone by. Take a trip back in time to the 1940s when dances were a part of our local culture.
Originally, the Reilly Arts building was the Ocala City Auditorium – a WPA project that was completed on July 4, 1940. Over the decades the auditorium hosted countless Ocala dances, proms, graduations, concerts and events. The Reilly continues this local legacy today.
Learn something new and meet new friends. Experience fun photo ops, specialty themed cocktails, a swing dance jam circle, and featured dance performances. The evening will be set to the soundtrack of incredible vintage music from Becky Sinn and Gainesville’s favorite little big band, Swing Theory.

Are you ready to try something new and fun? Ready to get out and move? If you are, then join the Inisheer Irish Dancers for two introductory workshops on Saturday, June 18.
You can participate in one or both of the workshops. (No cost)
Sean-nós step dance is characterized by its "low to the ground" footwork, improvised steps, free movement of the arms with high value placed on personal style.
Irish sets are danced by four couples in a square, and are derived from French Quadrilles which were brought to Ireland in the nineteenth century. Irish dancers adapted the figures to their own music and steps to form dances with great drive and enjoyment.
*The terms “ladies” and “gents” are used in Irish set dancing.
