Gainesville Israeli Dancing with Andrew Weitzen
We have a small, enthusiastic group in Gainesville.
Our group meets twice a week,
for four hours on Thursday evenings from 7 to 11 pm,
and two hours on Sunday evenings from 9 to 11 pm.
We revived the group after a several year layoff,
and have been dancing steadily since the winter of 2005.
There is a group at Hillel that meets
Wednesdays during school sessions, but check to confirm.
The Messianic Congregation Kol Simcha meets
every Tuesday night.
About Israeli Dancing
Israeli Dancing is done in a completely casual environment,
friendly atmosphere and with nice people.
The emphasis is on enjoying yourself, making friends,
exercising and having a great evening.
With a history going back 4,000 years and a variety spanning
the globe, Israeli dancing is both the newest and oldest of dances,
ecompassing a huge range of styles and influences,
from the Mideast, Latin America, US, Balkans, Greece, Turkey
and more.
Music and dances cover many styles and paces.
You will enjoy everything from smooth dances to slow haunting melodies
to the sheer exuberance of flying around the floor to energetic horas
and everything in between.
