Hello and Gainesville Ocala Social Dancers,

Lots of news this week. Three dances this weekend for you to attend. Get your body limbered up by two of our local dancers. Come out dancing with us next week, while we can still dance at B'nai Israel. Be sure to check out the dance quotes each week. For the time being, the quotes will now come from my book How to Dance with a Partner by Andrew Weitzen. If you would like to volunteer to provide critique for my book, let me know.

You have three dances to attend this weekend. Tonight you have a Dance Party at Spruce Creek in South Ocala, Friday August 13. Tomorrow you have Swingin in the Streets downtown Gainesville, Saturday August 14. Tomorrow you have the Salsa Mundial Monthly Social at their studio in Gainesville. Also tomorrow daytime you can take a trip to the Ballroom Dancing Palm Coast Classic Challenge with Ray and Eileen. As always, confirm before going as the situation is fluid.

Yaw Tutu and Beth Michelson can help you loosen up and stay fit to keep your dancing in top shape via massage, movement and other wonderful and exotic forms. See below for details.

Regular weekly sessions as usual. See the calendar. Confirm before you go.

Dance Quotes from My Book

Body Groove with Beth Michelson

Hi Everyone,

Hope all is well. I'm back to teaching and I hope you can join in. Here's a little reminder about the class:

Body Groove is a dynamically interactive and creative group dance experience. With great music, I will, as your facilitator, unite everyone in a simple movement or rhythm but you dance it in your own unique way. While exploring a variety of styles and genres you will experience everything from slow, meditative grooves to heart thumping and strength building cardio beats. The perfect recipe to nurture body, mind, heart and soul.

This class is online so you can join in from anywhere. It's a novel way to work out. Nice not to have to drive anywhere too.

Please email me at bnmichelson@gmail.com or call 352-219-4653 for info and link to the class.

See you soon,

Beth Michelson
