Gainesville Ocala Israeli and Folk Dance Newsletter 2024-05-05

Contra Dance Weekend, Swing Theory, Beginning Israeli Starts this Monday, Al Rogers Memorial Contra Dance

Hello and Gainesville Ocala Israeli and Folk Dancers,

Since there is a lot going on this weekend, this Israeli and Folk Dance Newsletter is coming out on Friday instead of Sunday so you do not miss out on the activities.

Finally, after more than a month's layoff, we are back to Israeli Dancing. Come out this Monday, May 6 for Israeli Circle and Partner Dancnig. New Israeli dancers come for Beginning Israeli Dancing from 6:30 to 7:00 pm. At 7:00 pm, our regular dancers will join the beginners. Best time to start is with other newcomers. Let me know if you are coming. $10 per family

Happy Dancing,
Andy
