UF Swing Club Returns, Ballroom Dance, Argentine Tango Milonga, the Essential Skill

Hello and Gainesville Ocala Social Dancers,

UF Swing Club is back in session after break with a dance at the UTC Friday night. There is also a Contra Dance in Melrose Friday evening.

Saturday night Ray and Eileen host a Ballroom Dance at Rena's and Steve hosts Argentine Tango Milonga El Abrazo at the Movement. If you have any interest in Argentine Tango, check out Steve's dance, which is free to watch and see if the sophisticated atmosphere appeals to you. If so, in April, I will be teaching an Introduction to Argentine Tango 6-week series via Santa Fe College Community Education. This is a good way to get your feet wet.

Also, a heads up for those interested in starting West Coast Swing. I will be doing a beginner 6-week series in that too via SFC Community Ed.

It is all about dancing with your partner, with an emphasis on "with". The essential skill is balance. For the follower, you must wait on your standing leg until you know where and when to move, then transfer your weight with your partner so you are two people moving as one.

Happy Dancing,
Andy
