Contact Andrew, publish@israelipartnerdancing.com, 352-327-3672
On Monday nights, beginning November 22 to December 27, for, a minimum of 4 and up to 6 nights.
Everyone welcome. No experience and no partner needed.
Treat yourself to some fun doing Israeli Partner Dances. You deserve it.
The first hour is for beginner's. You do not need to know how to dance. You will learn. Everyone can learn Israeli Partner Dancing.
Easy, exuberant, great music, great friends, come out for a great time.
On Monday nights, beginning November 22 to December 27, for, a minimum of 4 and up to 6 nights.
We rotate partners and do dances more than once, so everyone gets to do every dance, everyone gets to dance the same amount and everyone gets to dance with everyone else. If you come with your spouse and you do not want to rotate, you do not have to. Rotating is your option.
Teaching is based on my book Partnership Dancing(tm).
Rather than memorizing choreography, the women will learn the skill of how to follow every Israeli Partner Dance without learning the steps. This is a good skill to have and is applicable to all social dances, particularly choreographed dances. You will be able to follow other folk dances, including things like Contra Dancing, without having to worry about the patterns.
The men will learn how to make every dance a pleasure by communicating via their body language. You will learn how to get the woman to do what you want by manipulating space, without wrestling the woman around.
There is no gender bias. You can dance which ever part you want.
We will be videoing some of the teaching.

Article: Why Israeli Partner Dancing is Great for Men
Of all the dances I have done, Israeli Partner Dancing is among the best for men, especially for complete novices, even if you have two left feet and no rhythm.
Here are eight reasons why.
1. You do really fun dances right away.
2. You learn how to dance.
3. You build your confidence.
4. You learn a wide variety of dance styles.
5. You learn a whole new set of moves.
6. You meet new people and make friends.
7. You get some exercise.
8. You get to dance to great music.
Israeli Partner Dancing is unique in that every piece of music has its own unique choreography. Somebody went to the trouble to choreograph steps to exactly match the music of that song.
So, whatever your skill level, you still get to do the same dance as everyone else.
When you start out, you may not know as many dances and you may not dance as smoothly as someone who has been dancing for a while, but you can have just as much fun.
