4. Monday 12/06 - New Introduction to Israeli Partner Dancing

Congregation B'nai Israel, 3830 NW 16 Blvd, Gainesville, FL

7:00 - 8:00 : For Beginners
8:00 - 9:00 : For More Experienced Dancers

Starts exactly on time. You can come late.

$5 per evening. Ages 22 and under free. Other students $2. If you have financial difficulties, you can come for free.

Contact Andrew, publish@israelipartnerdancing.com, 352-327-3672

On Monday nights, beginning November 22 to December 27, for 4 to 5 nights.

Everyone welcome. No experience and no partner needed.

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.

The men will learn how to communicate 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 may be videoing some of the sessions.
