Dancing with Andy
We are dancing on Tuesdays and Thursdays in March. Let me know you are coming. Let me know what dances you want to do. Email me to get on our private email list for latest schedule the day before. Invite others.
For the next few weeks, we will be doing both Hustle or West Coast Swing Musicality and Figures Beyond the Basics on Tuesday nights at 7 pm. At 8 pm, we will Waltz or do somethig else. At 9 pm we have Argentine Tango practice for all levels.
Thursdays schedule varies based on those attending. We have been doing Argentine Tango on Thursdays starting at 7:30. Check with us to confirm.
Private lessons are avaialable.
All dancing at Congregation B'nai Israel, 3830 NW 23 Blvd, around the left side, 1/2 mile east of Fresh Market.
These are classes with a lot of practice time. There is about 15 minutes of instruction spread over each hour. The rest of the time you dance. You get in about 10 dances of practice each hour. We rotate partners. Rotating is not required. Dancing is for all levels. No partner needed.
Let me know what dances you would like to do. Suggestions include: waltz, foxtrot, East Coast swing, chacha, rumba, hustle, and nightclub two-step, and West Coast swing. If you want to spend some time on one dance, let me know that you want to do a series. Spending a few months on one dance takes you to a new level.

Biodanza
Welcome to the first weekend of Biodanza - Dance Freedom - in Gainesville
Soul Dance - Biodanza
Biodanza is about connection to life through movement - music- emotion. You are born with a dance, it accompanies you through your life. Biodanza helps you reconnect with your own, unique movement.
Biodanza is Art through movement and music. The facilitator takes you on a sequence of music that bypasses your thinking brain straight into your cells, and rekindles with the dance you were born with. Your emotions are awaiting to be danced, Biodanza guides you through five integrated forces within you. The body follows, no words are uttered, you follow the music.
Biodanza is community based, everyone contributes with their soul dance.
We invite you to share this wonderful unique experience.
Friday 25 March 7 pm -8:30 pm
Saturday 26 March 10 am - 4 pm
Sunday 27 March 10 am- 4 pm
