Gainesville Ocala Israeli and Folk Dance Newsletter 2014-02-02

Hello and Gainesville Ocala Israeli and Folk Dancers,

This is a busy week of folk dancing, with four days of dancing and six dances, starting with this afternoon's first Sunday of the month Contra Dance at the Boltin Center. Waltz lesson at 2:30. Contra lesson at 3:30 and dancing at 4. Come on out. There is nothing else to do today, is there?

Tomorrow, Monday is Israeli Dancing at B'nai Israel at 7 pm for just $5, ages 22 and under free. English Country Dancing is at the United Church of Gainesville at the same time.

Tuesday is Scottish Dancing at the Tigert House and Beginning Line Dancing in Hawthorne.

Thursday is Line Dancing at the Senior Center at noon.

Friday is International Dancing at the Unitarian Universalist Fellowship.

A number of years ago, my cousin gave me a little device that counts the number of steps you take. He said you need to take 10,000 steps a day for good heart health. Since then, I cannot tell you how many times I have seen the initiative for 10,000 steps a day, including in today's Gainesville Sun. The average dance speed is 120 beats per minute, which is two steps per second or 7,200 steps in an hour of dancing, a long way towards your daily 10,000 steps to heart health, plus you have fun, socialize and learn a skill at the same time. Why walk when you can dance.

Happy Dancing,
Andy
