In Person Bachata Tuesday, Online West Coast Swing and Tango Tomorrow
Hello and Gainesville Ocala Social Dancers,
Join us this week on Mondays as we continue our summer Online West Coast Swing Series with Andy at 7 pm followed by Argentine Tango from 8 to 8:30 pm.
These are suitable for anyone who has some dance background. You do not need to know these particular dances. You do not need a partner.
During these sessions, you keep moving. We do exercises. We review basics. We learn variations. We practice.
For West Coast Swing, we are doing body isolation exercises to warm up. Each week we are reviewing one of the five basic 6-count figures. We are covering options for the ladies and men to vary the basics to fit the music. This week we are covering the Sugar Tuck, aka Tuck Turn.
Also join us on Wednesdays and Thursdays to learn choreographed dances.

Have fun sharing your time with other people, doing beautiful dances to great music, while learning how to dance. The best exercise for your mind, body and soul.
You do not need a real partner. Imaginary partners are fine, possibly better.
Let me know what you would like to do, such as other levels of instruction, other dances, other formats for the dance sessions or dancing on other days or times.
The sessions are aimed at Beginner Intermediate level dancers. You do not need to be experienced in these particular dances. You should have some dance experience.
If you are a Novice dancer, let me know so we can schedule sessions for you and other Novice dancers.
Share your feedback. We are learning as we are going on how to do online dance sessions.
You can join the online meeting 10 minutes early to chat with others. The dancing starts exactly on time. You can stay online after the meeting to chat with others until I get home and end the meeting.
