Israeli Dancing this Monday at 6 pm, Contra Dancing, Night on the Nile

Hello and Gainesville Ocala Israeli and Folk Dancers,

Dancing with Andy resumes this week. Israeli Dancing on Monday, August 12 at 6 pm, not the usual 7 pm, due to Tisha B'av.

Social Dancing on Tuesday, August 13 and Thursday, August 15. Argentine Tango both nights at 6 pm and Dance Mix at 8 pm. We left off with Waltz on Tuesdays at 7 pm and Hustle! on Thursdasy at 7 pm. Those attending will decide what dances we do.

We went dancing in Seoul and Honolulu and I did a dance program at the IOHSK conference in Manilla. Honolulu and Los Angeles have Israeli dancing and Japan has international folk dancing, but we were unable to attend those. Seoul has a large dance community. Here is a video of Tango Onada one of the most popular Argentine tango milongas in Seoul.

Fall beginner 4-week series for new dancers are in September and November:
Monday, September 16 and November 4, at 7 pm Beginning Israeli Dancing with Andy
Tuesday, September 17 and November 5 at 6 pm Beginning Argentine Tango, Swing, and Waltz with Andy

Happy Dancing,
Andy
